"Thank you. What you have said is everything I would have hoped for," said Lily. "And I think you are right about waiting a while. We have plenty of time." Lily was absolutely blissful. To think that he would love her too...! She gazed over at Posco. She wanted to kiss him, though she knew it would be better in the end if they went slow, and more pertinent at the moment was the fact that they were sitting on separate branches. Patience, again. She reckoned she would be the most patient hobbit in Middle-earth before all this was done with. Well, maybe not quite, she admitted.
"There is at least one big difference between us and your parents, though," said Lily seriously. It was not a pleasant prospect she was bringing up, but it had to be discussed. "We live many leagues apart. I will have to return to Bree eventually, until we were to get married, if that is the way things are to come. What will we do then?"
