Chapter 10 Surprises
Elizabeth hummed to herself as she finished her repairs on a tunic for one of Haldir's men. Word had spread about her skills as a tailor and so her business was growing. She was keeping herself very busy; as Haldir had
been placed back on duty, he was currently guarding the borders of Lothlorien. Elizabeth tried not to worry about him being out there, the incident with the orc had really frightened her and she was very much afraid of
losing him. She understood how important his job was to him so she kept most of her fears to herself so not to make him feel bad about making her worry about him.
"I see that you are keeping really busy Elizabeth." Came Galadriel's voice from the entrance of her room.
Elizabeth jumped slightly as she turned to see the lady looking stunning as usual in an elegant dress made of
white lace. "Oh hello Galadriel I didn't here you come in.," she said "I apologize for startling you I only wished to ask you to join me for lunch if you are not to busy." Galadriel said
"Oh no of course not I'd love to join you." Elizabeth said quickly.
The two of them were in the central dining room of the Lady's home. "I haven't been able to see much of you lately I have wanted to ask you how you have been feeling lately." Galadriel asked her "Oh I have been doing
great and as you seen earlier really busy." Elizabeth answered Galadriel smiled "I know that you were scared from what happened to Haldir." She said quietly "Yes I have to admit that I was terrified I thought for a
moment that I was going to loose him." Elizabeth said softly "I can understand your fear I have often worried about the safety of my husband when he is away, but I believe it makes a stronger connection between us."
"I believe in him and I know that he will always return home to me." Galadriel said Elizabeth smiled "I believe in Haldir as well I know that he will return to me again." "The both of you share a powerful bond much like me
and my Celeborn." "I am sure that the two of you will be very happy together." "Thank you Galadriel." Elizabeth said smiling "Excuse me sorry to interrupt." Elizabeth's heart leapt in her chest as she heard the
voice of the one she loved. She got up from her seat and rushed into the arms of Haldir who had appeared in the doorway. "Well hello Elizabeth I was wondering if you had missed me while I was away." He said teasing
her. She laughed "Nope not at all." He laughed "Alright can you give me a moment while I give my report to Lady Galadriel. "Yes of course I'll wait outside for you." She said leaving the room.
Later that day they went for a walk in the woods while Haldir told her of his day. "So when will you be leaving
for duty again?" Elizabeth asked him "Tomorrow." he answered I'll be gone for a few days this time." "There have been reports of a group of orcs coming closer to this area." he said and he instantly regretted his words
at the tense expression that came upon Elizabeth's face. "Don't worry Elizabeth nothing will happen to me." He said gently "I'm so sorry for worrying you my love I will always return to you please believe me." "I do
believe you I just can't help worrying." He gently cradled her face in his hands and kissed her lips. "For now
let's not worry about anything okay." "Alright." she agreed taking his hand. They walked in a comfortable
silence just being together. "Where are we going?" Elizabeth asked him as they walked deeper into the forest.
"You will see." he said mysteriously.
"Oh wow!" Elizabeth breathed at the stunning sight before her. They had come to a clearing in the trees.
There was a small body of beautiful blue water surrounded by colorful flowers and lush green plants and
trees;. Rays of sunshine shone through the thick trees, it could not be a more beautiful site. "It's so beautiful."
Elizabeth cried "It's like scene out of a painting!" "Indeed and I believe it is the perfect place to ask you a very
important question." "Yes what is it Haldir?" she asked "I love you Elizabeth my angel will you marry me?" He
produced a beautiful golden ring from his pocket. She stared at him for a split second before throwing her self
into his arms and kissing him repeatedly. "I believe that was a yes?" He asked a little hoarsely "Yes, yes, yes,
yes!" she squealed and began to kiss him again. She couldn't express how happy she was at that moment.
