Jareth and Sarah were now standing outside the room Sarah had stayed in weeks before. They were still embracing. When they broke apart Sarah looked up and flashed him a girlish grin.
"What is it?" Jareth asked.
"Nothing, nothing, nothing at all," She said laughing.
"Well Sarah on that note I say it is time we get some rest."
Sarah laughed some more.
"What is so funny?" he asked.
"You said 'we'. Something about that word, it just makes me happy."
Jareth knew what she was talking about. However he didn't tell her that. He simply kissed her goodnight and went to his room.
He truly did know what she was getting at with the word 'we.' The word meant not having to be alone anymore. When Sarah first stepped into his life he realized how isolated he was. The past years had been sheer agony for him. He knew he was lonely, he also knew how to cure it, yet at the time Sarah was so far out of his reach. Because of her he felt a great void in his life. But now that she was there the void was beginning to fill.
When she had beaten the labyrinth she truly hurt him. He offered her all he had and more yet she turned away. That didn't bother him now. She was there for him now and he was not going to let her go. After years of seeing her suffer he could finally protect her the way he always wanted to. He wanted to wrap his arms around her to keep her safe and warm. He could forgive her for the past because now she was here with him in the present. Now he wasn't alone.
