Loriel watched as Elise walked toward the library and then disappeared from view. His chest was filled with love and warmth to the brim.
Once he knew he was alone, Loriel cupped his face with both hands and cried silently. All the wait, those lonely nights for fifteen centuries finally paid off.
He could find his Elise.
Now, there was nothing in this world he wanted. He already got what he had been dreaming of, day in day out. His wife returned to him.
There was no place he would rather be, than here with Elise.
He didn't know what had happened to her from the moment she left him, until the moment they met again, but he was determined to find out.
He would make up for his past mistakes. Now that Elise had returned to be with him, Loriel had a lifetime to do things right.
The man was overjoyed and relieved after confirming Elise's identity this morning. He was so happy that he was shaking.
