Summary: Faramir woos Eowyn

Notes: Thanks to Jen, Melissa-n-Pete, Dot, and Meg. Written for Carla, who requested Eowyn, "I am flawed, but I am cleaning up so well."

Date: January 27, 2005

When Faramir asks for her company, Eowyn smiles, because he is so eager, and yet so dignified that he never seems foolish, nor as if he wants her to seem a fool.

When he asks for her heart, Eowyn wonders she has any left to give, yet she does, somehow. She feels joy swell within her breast at the sight of this man, at the touch of his hand upon hers, the sound of his voice, low and earnest, yet with some humor in it, even in these uncertain days.

When he kisses her in earnest, his lips upon hers, warm and soft in the bright sunshine of Minas Tirith, her heart opens like a flower with the first touch of spring sun upon its petals, the promise of life and growth after the long hard frost of winter.

When Faramir asks for her hand, his heart in his eyes, she says yes, because she knows he loves her strength, and she is not afraid to let him see her weakness.
