Just today within the span of a few hours, she had set him free with the beauty, the simplicity of her words: I trust you, Always...Yes... Something burst in his chest, and Faustus couldn't stop himself from smiling; couldn't stop the relieved laugh that escaped him as he looked up at her, a single tear escaping down her cheek. "You will?" He couldn't stop the question from coming out. Her answer was too good for words, too sure, too good to be true. But he'd heard her the first time, as if the word had been fabricated from her lips for the very first time.
It lifted him to his feet and closed the gap between them, his palm pressing to her cheek as his thumb caught the tear and wiped it away. "You have no idea the happiness you've just given me, Marie." he said tenderly, leaning forward to press a kiss to her lips. So very happy.
