While Lucy had waited she had worried that despite her excitement and her own feelings, if she might be nervous to see Ace. After all they had not seen each other or spoken in a month, not since their letters had started or they declared their own feelings for each other. She had wondered if she would suddenly be shy, if she would worry about his love. But standing there with Ace’s arms around her, she knew that all her worries had been for naught. It was if a day hadn’t passed since she had last seen him. As if they had always been this way.

Lucy leaned back slightly and looked up at Ace, hesitant to leave the safety of his arms. “I’m better now that you are here.” She admitted a grin on her face and she took him in. That was not to say that she hadn’t been alright before he came, but she was so much happier now, standing here in his arms then she had been as she nervously awaited him. But she didn’t want him to think there was anything that had gone wrong with their plans and was quick to add, “But everything went smoothly. And your travels?”
