If you could do one thing and there would be no consequence to doing it, what would you do?

I'd tell him everything.
Starting at the beginning. The very beginning. I'd tell him everything about me--my life, my struggles, my heartaches and fears, my hopes, my dreams. I'd tell him why I left Sihnon. I'd tell him why I can't go back.
I'd tell him how I feel. I'd tell him what it really meant to me, when he stood up for me against Atherton. How much it rankled when I found he'd kissed that hu li jing Saffron, and how deeply it hurt me that he'd took to bed with Nahndi. I'd confess to the relief and joy I felt when he came to rescue me from The Operative. I'd tell him that if it were given to me to love, I'd love him. That if circumstances had been different I'd be his. His lover, or his wife...whatever he wanted.
I'd kiss him--a real kiss, not a moment stolen when he was unconscious and unaware. I'd hold him, and take him to bed with me, and I'd give him everything. I'd be everything he ever wanted, I'd make love to him until we were both exhausted and sore. I'd hold him while he slept and listen to his heart beat, listen to him breathe.
I'd leave the guild and leave behind everything I'd worked for my entire life, just to be his. Just to be with him. It wouldn't matter that I'd lose myself completely in the process, because I'd be his.

Silly thoughts of a silly girl, I know.
But I can have the dream of it. And it will have to be enough.
