"You are Caroline bloody Forbes. You are, by far, the strongest woman I know." She turned to him. "You survived me." That got him a laugh amid the tears. "And that's an accomplishment for any woman. You are good. And beautiful. Kind. Rare." She turned to him again and saw how serious his stare had become. Her tears stopped as she waited for his next words. "You are the fucking love of my life. And I will not, I cannot, live forever without you." Klaus said. Caroline smiled and reached out to cup his face, seeing how vulnerable he just made himself. She leaned over and her fingers went to bury in his hair. She kissed him and he reached over, grabbing her behind the neck to keep his balance, and closed his eyes when she pulled away to rest her forehead on his.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"You have no need to apologize, love." He replied.
"Shut up" She murmured with a smile and let him help her up, her legs too weak to hold her he lifted her and swung her legs to fall on his other arm.
"I've got you love. You don't have to worry anymore, I've got you." Caroline rested her head against Klaus's and he turned into the light, walking away from the darkness that almost took his love.
