His kiss is so soft that another woman might not feel it at first, but Rogue is instantly aware of any touch. The few caresses she's received throughout her life are as rare and treasured as gold to the poor. Her eyes are still closed. He doesn't need to tell her to keep them shut. She's afraid to open them lest this moment end. She's finally being touched, truly being loved, and Rogue could weep from the joy exploding in her soul. Joseph cradles her, knowing she is truly the greatest treasure of all and vowing to love her forever.
The End
