Advent Calendar 2009 - 8: The Lovers

So many times, in the long year of the Quest, he had cast his mind back to think of her, to take courage from the thought that he was protecting her as much as anything else. Even if he never saw her again, to know that his life had been spent in assuring hers.

A gentle breeze lifted her hair from her glowing eyes. Did he dare?

His heart pounding in his chest, Sam kissed Rosie for the first time.

While you surprised me by not having Arwen and Estel as the characters for this prompt, and even though you never write about these two characters - you did a sweet job!

I really like this! And yes, I think Rosie was one of the reasons Sam went to Mordor, although there was far more to it; his loyalty to Frodo, the sense that it was the right thing to do and that it had to be done. Well done!
