The Other

'Look at me!' she demands, taking hold of his jaw and forcibly turning his head towards herself. 'Look at me!'

His closed, unseeing eyes stare down at her. An expression of pleasured pain mars his face.

'Open your eyes,' she whispers hoarsely, viciously. 'Damn you, open your eyes and look at me!'

He won't. Can't.

Even as she reaches heights of ecstasy, tears form and slide down flushed cheeks. 'My name…'

He hears not her voice but that of another, lost in memories of brilliant white. He sighs the name of one who can never be his. Not again.

'Éowyn.'
