I have searched ever since my ghost revived me for peace. The weeks were arduous, months painful, waiting for the one. But now the years have passed, and I have found you.

The most important thing to me ever." *Minutes pass, her saying nothing in response, either too shocked or touched to say anything* *Slowly, he says:* "What is it with this Storm guy anyway? Is what he is to you really enough to-" *He began to gesture to the two of them, but his throat caught in anticipation, and stopped cold.* "Does he really love you more than I do?"
