Faramir took her arm, and led her out into the courtyard at the back of the
grand hall.
He turned her round to face him as soon as they were seated, on a little bench, by the tiny icy ,blue waterfall, running past the shrubs.
"Faramir." Eowyn began to speak but Faramir held his hand to her lips.
"Calm yourself" he said softly. Then he took her hand in his. She could feel the warmth of the air inside the cover his hands made. Her spine tingled as he rubbed his thumb across the smooth surface of her palms.
"My dear, ever since I met you I have been besotted by you" he said lightly.
Eowyn's face turned very scarlet, but he ignored it.
"I have loved you since I first laid eyes on, and it pains me when you are not with me" he stood and turned to face her. "I want to be sure that my love is not in vain" he got on his knees and grasped her hands tight "I need to know if you have the same feelings as I feel for you, I am sensitive man and I need reassurance that you are not wasting my love"
Eowyn pulled him to his feet and cupped his face in her hands. She brushed his lips slightly with hers, then pushed him back.
Then much to Faramir's grief she turned and left, little did he know what was going through her mind.
She felt as though she was walking on air, it took all her self-control for her not to skip back through the doors of the Grand Hall.
She pushed the door inwards, and much to her surprise saw Aragorn with his lover Arwen. They were seated on the large chairs, presented to them when they came. Arwen had her arms wrapped tightly around Aragorns neck as she pushed her lips against his.
Eowyn gasped, but it was not a woeful gesture, in fact quite the opposite. She was relieved.
She laughed. Aragorn and Arwen looked up obviously embarrassed. But Eowyn just laughed.
"I am sorry" she choked between giggles. Then she ran out through the doors of the Hall once again, leaving a fairly confused couple behind.
She ran down the winding paths to where Faramir stood with his head in his hands.
She pulled his head up from his hands grasp and smiled. "Your love is not in vain" she said joyfully. Faramir pulled her towards him and held her close and she nuzzled his shoulder. Happy.
