( She lets him lead her onwards, uncaring where they end up so long as it’s together. Going further than arm’s length away from him is impossible — not when she knew he’d be leaving her for good, no matter his promise. She does not begrudge him it, she knows he must do whatever he can to save the world and what it might cost him, what he was willing to give for it. Jill could never hate him for being willing to die for the future they have fought for. There is only the wish to have him by her side to see it.
How selfish of her, she thinks. But he is here, warm hand holding tightly onto her’s as he leads her to a garden — the sweet scent of flowers familiar and aching, and when he pulls her into a kiss she does not resist. Jill kisses him back as fiercely and as desperately as he does until she has to break apart. )
