down her delicate face.
"Mama..." She mumbled. No one knew it, but she could remember everything about the Silver Millenium. No one else would ever understand the agony of that.
Watching everyone you know die. Her mother, her people, her friends, her... There she ceased her train of thought. Him. He had promised he'd be here.
Where was he? Where was her Darien, her prince?
"Santa, all I want for Christmas is him at my side. All I've ever wanted is for him to be at my side."
Suddenly she felt a soft velvet cape float around her. "Then, you're going to get all you've ever wanted."
"Darien!" She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Hey, Love. I got caught in traffic. Then there was a youmen and you know how that screws traffic up." He held her gently.
"Darien, you're here now and that's all that matters." She smiled. That was the last winter she would ever be lonely.
