Thankies alot for my reviews!!!!! Love you all loads, and now...here goes chapter 2
CHAPTER 2 - SPOTTED
Faramir held the fine silk curtains ajar as his wife embraced the King, a pang of jealousy hitting him deep in the stomach, slowly at first, but hitting harder and harder until the man let go of the curtain and paced around the room, his heart sinking to the very pit of his body.
Looking tentatively at his wedding ring, he bit his lip and considered the situation. Eowyn has always loved him he thought slowly, And he always had only eyes for Arwen. Now the honeymoon period was over, the whole kingdom could see it; the King and Queen of Gondor hated one another with a passion - just the kind of passion that could make him fall for Eowyn, make the King, whom he had always loved and trusted - take his wife.
He opened the door to his chambers and called to a guard, when one came rushing, he gave orders and the guard fled away as quickly as he had appeared. It was all in hand.

Arwen watched from the window as her husband spoke to Eowyn, the hatred she felt as the two of them walked, laughed together, making her want to heave. She'd had enough, but she knew her rights, and she wasn't about to let some wandering horsewoman take her place on the throne. When Elessar entered the room later that night, she voiced, rather loudly, her opinions to him.
"Do you love her?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Excuse me?"
"Do you love her? Do you love Eowyn as you once loved me?My Lord." She screamed, pacing the room, her face red with anger.
Aragorn shook his head. "I don't have to listen to this."
"So are you just going to walk away then?" She shrugged. "Back into her arms? My god Aragorn, what the hell has happened to you? I used to be able to talk to you... You used to know exactly what I was thinking. So tell me Oh great Lord of Gondor...What the hell am I thinking now?!" When he didn't answer, she sat down on the bed, taking deep breaths before whispering, "I'm thinking "Where the hell do we go from here?" I'm thinking "What has happened to me and to the man I used to love?" I'm thinking "Can I do this anymore?" Now that's what I'm thinking."
"Nowhere...He's dead, gone...and...Probably not."
"Then why, if he's dead, do I sleep with him every night? He's not dead, I refuse to believe that the old Aragorn...that Strider is dead. You're just too much of a coward to be that man anymore."
"And you are too cold hearted to love the man I've become."
"Does Eowyn love you just the way you are? Oh how bloody romantic! It isn't a bed of roses being me you know! I gave up...everything for you...for Strider." She sobbed.
"Strider is dead."

"Why are you doing this?" the young woman sobbed as her husband looked at the floor. "I love you!"
He bit his lip to stop the tears from falling down his cheek before shaking his head. "But just remember this Eowyn...You'll always love him a hell of a lot more!"
"I never meant to..."-
Faramir put a finger to her lips and ran his other hand through his hair. "Its over Eowyn. It's gone. The love...gone. When I saw you with him...when I saw how you looked at him, it nearly killed me wife. Then I realised...he's the one who made you beautiful."
"No. That was you."
