You wrote to her every day. Keep the flame inside of your heart alive with possibilities. Sometimes the fire and brimstone got to you and the only comfort was the cold and wet stones of the Romanian countryside.

The views over looking the cold mountains were satisfying yet something remained unfulfilled. A need to know seek out Alcina and return home. Something pushed you further, a feeling inside your beating heart that wanted to be where she was.

You felt your feet move on their own, a action based on your instincts but you knew it was your heart acting. Sometimes, her letters to you had a intimacy only known between lovers, others it was more free spirited from cold her composure.

She was free and in love with you, a mutual sentiment you felt in your heart. It was a fluid motion in your letters and something that strengthened after months of your shared encounter.

When you reached the castle main doors like many times before you snuck in like a mischievous cat. ‘Just you wait you tease,’ you thought to yourself. ‘I’ll get you this time!’

You crept quietly into the hallway and clouded with happiness that you never noticed the tower of white closing in on you. Before long a pair of strong hands gripped you up and the lips of your lover greeted you home.

“My iubi,” she gasped between strained breaths. “It’s been too long, your letters had me waiting what felt like eons of eternity.”

“Alcina,” you managed to speak before succumbing to her surprise raspberries on your throat. Giggles and murmurs of longing between you and her were shared before you retired to your shared bedroom.

“My love, I’ve waited for you and by the gods of love did I miss you so dearly.” She spoke softly.

“I’m sorry for making you wait my love, I had to wait for it before coming back home to you.” You responded.

Here in this intimate moment your prayer was answered. after months of letters and letters was the thing you longed to return home to. Her and her beautiful presence alone made you melt into the sweetest of sentiments.

You waited for it so long.
