Take's Place: Post Halo3
Love: strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.
At least, so the dictionary's all said. But Cortana knew better. Love was what kept so many of these Marine's fighting. Love for Earth or her Colonies, love for someone waiting at home, or someone fighting alongside them. Even these Elites, some of them had mates or families back on the Covenant Home. But what about John? Who did he love, you ask? Cortana would only shake her head at you, a small smile curving her lips.
She will say: "He loves us all." But there's something she's not saying, and the looks she and John share tell the rest of the story.
"He loves me, I love him."
