Weeks went by, and Rebecca and Peter kept finding excuses to see each other without Constance, Bryan, and Mr. and Mrs. Pevensie discovering that there was more to their relationship than an average one. Susan, Lucy, and Edmund helped greatly with their efforts. The pair told each other almost everything, but there was something untold. Rebecca knew that the time was coming to tell Peter, but she didn't want to, she knew that even simply knowing could put his life in jeopardy. Peter desperately wanted to know what it was that was tugging at Rebecca, but every time he asked her, she denied any difference in her personality.

"Rebecca, quit pretending that nothing's wrong! We both know that there is something you're not telling me, I think it's time that you told me what is bothering you, we both need to have trust in this relationship." Peter and Rebecca were sitting in the Pevensie kitchen one day when no one was there save them, and Susan upstairs. Rebecca's mind was clearly wandering, and Peter didn't know what was going on, but he wanted to.

"Something is going on, you're right, but right now, I can't tell you. You have to trust me, I know that it sounds weird, but give it time." Rebecca wanted with all her heart to trust him, but something inside told her that it was not a good idea yet. She couldn't wait until there was a time when they could be entirely open, but that time was not now.

"I trust you, I just want to know what's bothering you, so that I can help you." Rebecca sighed, she knew he wanted to help her, but somehow, not now. Peter put his hand on Rebecca's shoulder to comfort her, and automatically, she shied away. "What's wrong, honestly, tell me."

"It's nothing, I didn't mean to, I mean…you just startles me." Rebecca wanted Peter's touch, but at the same time, it scared her, to know that something she could do, or say, could put someone else in so much danger.

"Well, when you feel like talking about it, let me know, I'm always here for you." He kissed her, and she felt better immediately, just as she did whenever he kissed her. When they broke apart, she smiled, and thanked him for his kindness, and understanding. "Anything, I love you, and that won't change." He pulled her close, and kissed her again.

"Umhm," Susan coughed to let them know that she was standing there. Peter and Rebecca turned to face her, and she smiled at them. "I was just wondering if you two wanted to go out with me and David, but if you're busy, I understand wanting to be alone."

"No, I'm in if Rebecca wants to go." Peter smiled at his sister, and then turned to Rebecca.

"Sure, it'll be fun, I'm in, where are we going?"

"We were just going to go and get some food at Mikey's, nothing much, but if you have any other ideas, I'm open," Susan said.

"No ideas here," offered Rebecca.

"Don't look at me; I'm fine with what you two planned." Peter left Rebecca for a moment to go and get their coats. The three of them met by the door three minutes later, and waited outside for David to arrive. When he got there, the four of them drove to Mikey's. The meal was loose, and the conversation comic and amiable. After the meal, David and Susan drove home, but Peter and Rebecca opted to walk to her house. Their relationship had been entirely different since they had met up. It had been slower paced, but just as loving. The two of them walked, laughing for a few minutes, still happy from the conversations of dinner.

"That as nice, I'm glad we went, thank you for taking me." Rebecca smiled at Peter, and he was lost in the eyes of the girl whom he loved.

"I had a good time, and I'm glad that we were able to escape the tension from before." Peter put his arm around Rebecca's waist, and she rested her head on his shoulder, forgetting, with his touch, all of her worries. "I know that you've probably heard this a lot, but it's amazing that we are together again, and it's amazing to see you, I have no idea where I would be without you, you know this, but I need you."

"You know that I need you too, I spent three years of my life wondering here you were, if you were alive, and if you were, whether you still cared for me, but I never expected to find answers to these questions."

"We both went through a strange time, and we both had trouble believing that we would ever see each other again, but we did, and that's a good enough sign for me that we're supposed to be together."

"Peter, about earlier, there is something that I need to tell you, and you may not understand right away, but it's big, and it's important that you tell no one else." Rebecca switched to what had been weighing down her thoughts.

"Whatever you have to tell me, I am willing to hear it." Peter braced himself for something awful, he didn't know what, but it sounded grave.

"Someone is trying to kill me, and you're not safe either, as long as you're with me, you're in danger." Rebecca sighed as she let out what was on her mind, and her heart.

"What? Why?" asked Peter, astonished with this news.

"I would love to tell you that I don't know, but I can't lie, not to you. You see, I saw these people kill someone, and they know that I saw, and so far, I've been doing a fairly good job eluding them, but I don't know how much longer I'm safe here. I've been hiding here for a year, and they've been after me for two. Whoever I saw them kill must have been important."

"Did you go to the police? They could protect you."

"I sort of went to the police. I wrote a letter, untraceable, to them, but they never caught the men."

"Why didn't you go in person?" asked Peter.

"If I went in person, and they realized what kind of danger I was in, I would never have the chance to see you again." Everything that Rebecca had done had been to bring herself closer to finding Peter, and she knew that if she went to the Police, they would change who she was, and she would never be allowed to see anyone she knew again.

"So you're risking your life everyday for me?"

"Yes, you could put it that way, but it's more selfish then that, I don't think I could live without you, but by being with you, I'm putting you in great danger."
