[font=Arial Narrow]Peaches took Baila's hands in his and replied softly "I want your love. I want you." She looked at him with a scowl. "I see them. And I have something more valuable to fight for. I look forward to the day when we will be together, when no one can worry us. I fight for you, my love."
His hands slipped from hers as she moved away, a saddened and lost expression met his face.
[color=#FFFFFF]"I.. I.. Lov..." He trailed off as she interrupted. Her face now filled with and expression of anger but also sadness. As she finished off her speech about how it was all blamed on her, he moved in and held her close. She was taken back by this action at first but soon warmed to it, they stood there for a moment before releasing the hug."It wasn't your fault... Everybody is accountable for their own actions. And from what I heard the Bretonian force was much larger than what the Corsairs could muster in any case. It wasn't your fault."
He looked at her softly through the smoke her cigarette was now billowing, he looked at her in a new light and he loved her even more. He wanted to be hers forever and her to feel the same way. He was unsure if she did yet, but that time would come.
"My dear... Of course I do." He dug around in one of his pockets and presented her with a little blue box. Inside of it was a ring made of pure gold with a small heart shaped ruby pressed into it. On the inside of the ring was inscribed:
Yours, forever more.
-P
She gasped at its beauty, Peaches took this moment to slip it out of the box and onto her finger.
"Just for you, my love." He said and smiled softly at her. He was complete.
