The Same Woman
By Rose-Arwen-Padme
Arwen's Hope
Arwen could hardly contain her excitement. Within days, Aragorn would be returning for another visit. She did not needa message or word of mouth to know that. Her heart told her as much.
Her eyes twinkled like stars and a smile spread across her beautiful face as she imagined the sight of him walking to her as he arrived under the Rivendell gates.
She closed her eyes, envisaging the feel of Aragorn's strong, protective arms around her when they embraced for the first time after being apart for too long once again.
She imagined his sweet lips brushing against hers, with his scratchy mustache covering her cheeks.
Getting lost in her daydream of Aragorn's return, she wrapped her own arms around herself in an attempt to make the picture and feel in her mind more real.
Unfortunately, her slender arms could not offer the overwhelming warmth she found when enveloped in his arms. She shook herself, and then continued her walk among the gardens of her home. She noticed one of her handmaidens waiting for her several yards up ahead, and walked quickly to meet her.
Her face beamed with the combination of the sunlight and her own natural glow. "This is it, Estel," she muttered under her breath as she walked. "I know this time you have come to tell me you love me. And nothing could make your arrival day happier!"
