Forever
Alister drove as carefully as humanly possible on the way back. Lara had instructed him that they could not attract attention; she was still a wanted woman. He followed these orders to perfection. How could he get her back only to lose her so soon?
"Alister..." She said after a long while.
"Yes..."
"I need time..."
"I know."
"Will you wait, just a little while? Until I feel sane again?"
Of course he would. After knowing what a wreck he was at the thought of never even seeing her again, sex was the last thing on his mind. He was happy just for her to be breathing. He would wait. Wait until the stars burned cold.
Despite all this, "Yes. Of course." Was all he could say.
