EPILOGUE
Elizabeth was standing on the balcony outside her room. It had been over a week since Sheppard's team had encountered Frung.
Carson had kept them all in the infirmary for a few days to make sure all bonds between them were broken. Rodney had been in daily consultation with Dr Heightmeyer over the lemon dreams. John was still avoiding her - Elizabeth knew Teyla had been keeping him company and trying to make him see sense.
She heard her door open and footsteps approach. She felt his arms around her waist and his lips brush the back of her neck.
"I love you," he murmured.
She was glad their affair was out in the open now. "I haven't thanked you for coming back for me," she said.
"There is no need," he replied.
She turned around and started to kiss him passionately. "Never do that to me again, never, ever go off world again," she said between kisses. "I can't go though that anymore."
He held her tightly. "I promise," he replied.
She could feel his love for her flooding her mind, the connection between them could never be broken now.
