Later Torin supports Inari in the water, her arms and legs wrapped around him, head resting in the crook of his neck. She sighs contentedly, enjoying the quiet after lovemaking, the feel of arms around her, the buoyancy of the warm water.

Torin runs his hands up her back, pushing the heavy wet mass of her hair to one side and watching it move in the water as if it had life of its own.

“You're so beautiful...”

Inari lifts her head to look at her lover, her hazel eyes molten gold in the moonlight.

Torin looks into her eyes, mesmerized by the shades of gold and brown. “And so easy to love...”

Laying a finger over his lips, Inari whispers, “Shhh... we cant change the way things are...”

Kissing the finger and smiling sadly Torin continues, “Sometimes I wish we could just leave... not have all these... responsibilities... duties to others that dont concern us...”

Blinking back sudden tears Inari whispers, “I dont dare speak of what is in my heart...”

“You dont have to....” Torin holds her close, “You dont have to...”

“But is this enough? For you? The few stolen moments...” Inaris words fade as Torin shakes his head.

“Enough? No. Its never enough...” Torin gently tips her chin so he can see her eyes, “But its worth it... more than worth it.”
