Time: Sweet Sorrow



Holly was consumed in happiness…but it was drenched with guilt. Boromir! He was alive! Oh what great, sweet-sorrow (as Shakespeare would have said)! She was safe. He was safe. But…the others…Rachel…

"My love…something's wrong…" Boromir said to Holly. He knew how she felt and had the same dread coursing through his body. They had been sitting together all night, staring at the stars on the Northwest tower. Holly had been asleep but had recently awoken to the rhythm of Boromir's heart against her ear. His arms were wrapped around her protectively. She sighed and looked up at him…he was so wonderful. He knew everything about her and yet…knew none of her truly. So close was he to her soul…

"Rachel…I've not seen her for weeks. It worries me," she told him truthfully. Although Holly had a disliking towards Legolas, she was even troubled by his absence. In truth, she had never gotten passed the first book in the LOTR trilogy. She had no clue what was in store for her friends.

"I know your remorse…but I'm sure Legolas will take care of her, dear."

"I sure of it…he's like a little fricken puppy…following her around, obvious in love with her…she never even noticed…not once…" Holly rambled as sleep overtook her again. Boromir stared lovingly at her fluttering eyelids while she tried to sleep. He couldn't imagine what it felt like to possibly loose such a close friend…he only knew lost love. As he sighed and stared off into the twilight sky, a small figure in red upon a black steed rushed toward Gondor…

Boromir let his mind slip…no more hallucinations…his love was back and if anyone came, then Faramir would be sure to let them pass…

A/N: Can you tell that I'm practically asleep? This chap was ALL about sleeping...*yawn
