Short and sweet, but true in every sense. They need each other, but they don't have to be each other. What makes them special is their differences, and that's what they love about each other. Time apart just gives them time to appreciate the time they have together, even if it is eternity.

Thank you! The prompt was ideal for a look into the future of TTaS.

This is SO what I want for them Sensible enough to retn their independence, but always coming back together. A beautiful image.

Thank you. It's what I want for them too. They have forever, so they don't want to become dependent on each other for everything. They know they will always gravitate back to each other, but they have lives of their own too.

Their need is a different kind of need - loose but firm :) <3<3

They know who they belong with, no matter how much distance separates them. They always find their way back to each other after a while.

Thank you!

I love this passage.
It's quite what I imagined in their future.
They eternity, they can and should from time to time to part, to better find later!
They will have new things to tell, may rediscover and have the joy of meeting her soul mate.

A little time apart is good in any relationship, it keeps things fresh and new, and it gives them something to talk about.

Thank you!
