I knelt, head bowed, to pray. Heavenly Father…

I seized the opportunity, and spirited him away.

what a better way to end, than where and with whom it all began.

thank you so much for enjoying the Twi25 with me! it was fun to do little canon drabbles of missing moments, and i hope you enjoyed them too. I'd love to know your favorites. I have to say mine are probably Alone, Bound, Red, Obsession, Bitter, Vibrant and Rapacious. Oh hell, who am i kidding. i love them all.
