The Green Dragon Inn - Part 8

[Crystal Heart]

Crystal giggled and smiled as she knelt down to to him. His dance had been delightful to watch, but she was sure his head was throbbing. As payment for his kindness she took his head in her hands and kissed the top of his head lightly.

She looked at him and continued to smile.
"I must agree Mr. Brandybuck, you probably shouldn't engage in dancing. Songs are more your speed right now," Crystal said as she laughed lightly.

"And please don't be sorry for being surprised at my short stature. Your surprise is nothing compared to what others have thought of me," Crystal reassured as she helped the hobbit back up off the floor.

She hadn't felt this happy in many months and Crystal was very thankful for whatever higher being that had brought this kind hobbit forth into her life.

She had a place to stay and a new companion, a new friend to talk to. It had been something her heart had searched for, her heart and yearned for, but she hadn't allowed herself to really dream. Now she was with this man that had such life, such joy, that made her change the way she saw the world. He was beginning to bring back the woman she had once been, the woman that Arty had known, the woman she had wanted to be for him, the woman that she had forgotten.
