Annabelle walked through the streets of Aldorm trying to clear her mind of all of her worries. Not matter what she did, her heart always seemed ten times heavier. Everywhere she looked, something reminded her of Richard. " This is tearing me into two." Annabelle said to herself. She continued to walk, casually, observing her surroundings.

Lucky for Richard, Zoltan was with him to keep him up. He'd said he needed good air, but he was just looking for Annabelle. Richy didn't think Zoltan didn't know. He liked the old man, he was a good man. His legs felt weak, as did his arms, his head was pounding. But he knew that once he found Anna, he'd be cured. He'd walked all around Aldorm with Zoltan already though, no sign of her. Richard sighed.

Annabelle had stoped at a flower cart. Not wanting to peal her eyes from the flowers, for last time she did so Richard had appeared from his quest, and if he didn't appear this time her heart would truley brake. Annabelle finally drew the strength to remove her eyes from the beautiful flowers. Her eyes observed the crowd, only to find the one thing she earn for...Richard. Her heat stopped instantly, her eyes teared up. Was it truley him?

Richard slipped from Zoltan's grip and sunk to his knees. The old man bowed down to help him up. The apothecary dropped his hat. "Up now, Richard. What say you we give up and find a bed, I'll have someone look for her." "I need her!" Richard yelled loudly, crying from grief and pain. "I need her..." it came out a hoarse whisper as he stood up. The old man hugged his patient briefly, and as he looked away, the old man saw a familiar face. "And who's this?" Richard's eyes followed Zoltan's and found Annabelle. He wanted to sprint, but Zoltan held him back. The two of them started walking towards the woman.

" Richard..." Annabelle whispered to herself in disbelief. " Richard!" Annabelle yelled, sprinting over to Richard and Zoltan. In fear of hurting him, she didn't embrace him in a hug. Tears were building up, out of mere happiness. " Richard...." Annabelle could only manage to speak his name, she stood infront of him, in disbelief.

"Sorry," Richard gasped, tears of happiness now filling his eyes. "Sorry I made you... worried. I'm fine." Just then, badlyy timed, he felt a pang of pain. "Ah!" Zoltan spoke: "Anna, I can leave you two be. he is fine, but needs rest. Should you ever need aid, don't hesitate. That even rhymes! I'm here for you." Zoltan turned around and turned back. "Be easy on him," he said with a big smile.

Annabelle helped Richard stand, supporting him. " Thank you for everything Zoltan." Annabelle said watching him walk off. ' Thank you Zoltan......Thank you...' Annabelle thought to herself. " Come Richard, let me bring you to my room at the tavern where you can rest.." Annabelle said walking with him slowly. She turned her face away from him, sheding tears of hapiness, of course she didn't want Richard to see her cry.

"I can hear you," Richard said. "Why should you be strong and hide your tears if even I don't. I've been thinking. it's secrets that ripped us appart and I don't want that again." Richard stopped and looked Annabelle in the eyes, smiling briefly. "No more secrets, please."

" Richard..." Annabelle looked him the eyes. She burst into tears, burying her face into his warm chest. " I promise you, no more secrets." Her voice weak, as was her heart from the stress. " I thought about you every second. I was worried sick about you." Annabelle cried out. " I thought I was going to lose you, I didn't know what to do if I lost you." Annabelle whispered to him.

"You didn't lose me! All is fine now," Richard tried to be enthousiastic but he was tired, exhausted. He almost fell when he tried to run his fingers through Anna's hair. "I need a bed," he said with a hint of panic in his voice. Richard wished for this weakness to be all over. Done and over with. He wanted to be fit again and tell Anna how much he loved her. "Anna... Do you..?" He couldn't say more, his vision began to blur. SOunds were muffled. He heard himself mumble "how far to the inn?"

" Come Richard, follow my lead." Annabelle said holding his arm, making sure he didn't lose his balance. Annabelle led him through the streets, until they got to the Inn.
