When Eternity Ceases
Chapter Eight
Albus and Minerva lay outside, gazing up at the stars. It was the first time they had been alone together since the night before the last battle. Minerva lay with her head on Albus's chest, his arms hooked around her shoulders.
"This would not have been possible without you, Albus. I know you would just as soon forget it all, and give back your Order of Merlin…but the truth it, you have saved us all. We can never repay you."
Albus kissed the top of Minerva's head tenderly. "You have already repaid me. You never left me. Minerva, I know it must have been horrible…I do not remember anything I did or said during those months, but I'm sure it was terrible for you…but I could not have made it back without you. Your presence made me wrestle with myself, trying to figure out who you were and why you were always there. I recognized your love, even though I did not know who you were." He smiled. "For eternity."
"I thought eternity had ceased," Minerva murmured.
Albus rolled over so he was on top of Minerva. He kissed her passionately, and as they prepared to join together again, he kissed her eyelids. "Eternity never ceases, my love."
