Notes: Character death in a later chapter. You've been warned. Constructive criticism is always welcome. This is a repost of a story that I have posted on another site. It seemed fairly popular, so I thought I'd bring it over here, even though it is not one of my favourite pieces.
Prologue“We can’t go on like this, the secrecy is tearing us apart.” The garden was silent but for the sound of their muted conversation.
“I know. But what choice to we have? If we want to be together, it has to be in secret.” This was not the first time they had discussed this.
He thought for a moment before replying, “We could…resign.”
She sighed in exasperation. “We’ve been over this before. You have a Padawan to look after-.”
“But he has just passed the trials. If you want, one of us could leave now and the other in a couple of months, to erase suspicion.”
She felt trapped, knowing that this was what she wanted, but not willing to submit to him, not willing to leave the Jedi. “It could work, I suppose.”
“We could still help the Jedi and the war effort! What do you say?”
She sighed again, what was she supposed to say? “I say, call me… Fleur Andrews.”
“In that case, call me… Flynn.” They kissed, then, a final farewell before they parted ways.
She broke off and looked into his eyes. “See you in a few months. And remember, I’ll be waiting for you, dearest of men.”
“I’ll miss thee, my Angel,” were the whispered words of his farewell to his beloved.
If you can guess who Flynn and Fleur are, I'll give you a virtual cyber cookie.
