"On the eve of the sudden assault at Osgiliath a strange dream came to Faramir in a troubled sleep. It has come again to him and also to me though we have not been able to understand the words spoken. My brother and I went to see our father but not much could he tell us. There is one place that was mentioned in this dream, a place called Imladris.
"It may be that the answer to our dream lies there, although not many know where Imladris is. Perhaps the answer to our dream will also be the answer of defence." Boromir paused, "That is why I am to journey northward and attempt to find this place and take counsel with Elrond the Halfelven."
"I do not understand," Eswen said as tears came to her eyes again. Boromir pulled her into his arms, he hated to see her upset but he felt relieved that now he had told her.
"Neither do I Eswen, neither do I. But what I do know is that this could benefit Gondor in some way." He said as she pulled her head back to look at his face.
"Please don't leave," She begged, her face was filled with grief. "Twice now I have lost a man that I care about dearly and now you are telling me that I am to lose the only other man that I love?" She looked away sadly as more tears rolled down her face and silence settled all around them.
"I am sorry, I am being terribly selfish," Eswen spoke up and broke the silence. She turned to face Boromir, "You say that you are sure this will benefit Gondor. And asking you to stay is a very selfish thing to do. I wish that you would stay and let someone else go." She drew in a deep breath and then smiled faintly.
"You are like my father." Eswen took Boromir's hand and looked into his eyes. "You do not think of yourself but of what you can do to help our country and others. Therefore, if this is what you wish to do, I will not stand in your way."
"You are one of the most amazing women in the whole of Middle Earth." Boromir said as he kissed her and a smile made its way onto his face. Eswen smiled back through the tears and squeezed his hand gently.
"And you are the most amazing man."
