He found himself in a wood. There were trees all around him, and a small creek rustled somewhere behind a rock. He walked for a while, and came upon a clearing. There was a figure standing in the middle, with their back to him. As the figure tuned, Severus glimpsed a face that he'd longed to see for nearly twenty years. He opened his arms and she ran into them. He held her close, cherishing in this moment.

"I've missed you." he said. The words were filled with such emotion that it brought tears to her eyes.

"I know, dearest. But now I'm here and never going anywhere."

"Never? I could get used to that." she laughed, a rich, full sound that made Severus's heart soar.

"I love you." she said.

"I love you too, Tabby." he said, grinning. "Always,"

She kissed him passionately before answering.

"And forever, Darling" she said a bit breathlessly.

And so they did.
