"How did you survive, my love?"
"I …really don't know," he responded, putting a hand on her waist, "your affection and my promise to you and yours."
"Hmm," she smiled a sweet smile of contentment. Heero got off the freeway and onto a smaller road. The small house came into view. Relena stood by herself and entered the house after Heero.
"Ahh! Home sweet home!" Relena went to the bedroom to get in bed. Heero moved to set the alarm. The keypad had been smashed and there were muddy footprints around him. He readied his gun to fire.
"Heero, will you come here for a second please?" Relena called.
"Yeah, baby, I'm coming," Heero said advancing toward the hall. He turned a corner and didn't like what he saw one bit.
