Ahnasha sighed. "I don't know, honestly. I am glad to be able to see them, I just hope I'm not causing even more pain in the future. I'm hoping I really am right about hiding the truth. I'm doing the best I can, and making the decisions I think are right, but only time will tell if I'm correct in it all. It could be that we're [i]both[/i] wrong about everything. 

Shaking her head, Ahnasha stood up and walked over to the corner of the room to get undressed. "At least we don't have to leave first thing tomorrow morning. I can have time for proper goodbyes. I'm going to try to avoid talking about this 'life' of ours as much as possible, and try to keep the topic on them. Just in case, let's make sure we stay together the whole time so there are no contradictions." Pausing a moment, Ahnasha walked over and hugged Fendros tightly. This whole day would not have been possible were it not for his willingness to go out of his way for her benefit, and no matter how it turned out, she knew he did it all just to help her. "And thank you, for everything. I love you, Fendros. I love everything about you."

Once Ahnasha released him, she sat down once again on the side of the bed, at which point a thought crossed her mind: something that had occurred to her before, but was not appropriate to bring up. "By the way...you told them we were married?"
