An Alphabet of Love Letters

by chartreuseian

Nikola's away for 27 long days but he's come up with a rather ingenious way of making sure he stays on Helen's mind. Established Teslen relationship set in the vague and misty future of season five.

12. Kiss

I love you all and you're all excellent for guessing this :) Now I'm going to go curl up and sleep because it feels like Druitt ran me through with his fist :S

K is for the kisses I have given and received over the years from your sweet lips. And, to some extent, the kisses I have stolen.

Every single one of them is forever engrained in my mind. From that first carriage ride right through to the last day we spent together in the 40's. Of course now I have many more kisses but those early ones are the ones that still send me a little dizzy at the memory.

Do you remember the Christmas eve by the fire? You giggled when I pointed out the mistletoe before stepping closer to me with a grin. If I remember correctly you told me to do my worst. You tasted like cherries and brandy which probably accounted for your forward behaviour.

And then there was that day when we were snowed in and you kissed me to grab the wine bottle from my hand.

Or there was that time when you gave me an absent kiss as I greeted you out the front of the public library. I felt almost like you husband or something then, getting such a casual token of your love.

But my favourite will be the kiss you give me when I come home in a few days time.

K is for the kiss I cannot wait to receive.
