It was surreal. A temporal vortex and a myriad of realities coming and going in an instant. It made your existence seem so fragile, so ephemeral like a blown bubble.
Then there was the time suspended when you didn't know if the worlds and you would be snuffed out like a burned out glowpanel.
This followed by the utter relief as reality seemed to flow back into its normal course like a river, and your love was returned to you, as if he'd never gone.

You hold each other tightly, and your name is like a soft prayer of gratitude...

"Nyota..."

From the corner of your eye, you catch Jim and Audrey gladly giving each other a hug. Their relationship is more recent, though no less deep for all that.

"Grand heroics, all of you," Audrey commends.

"We did only what we had to, although it was by no means easy." Jim says reflectively.

You smile softly, admiringly. "That is one definition of courage."

You then go to unwind and bask in the return of what (and whom) really is essential.

 

a great piece to describe the love of two couples and the comments of the ladies
