She was quite proud of hers and was sure no one would be offended at the sight of them. She did look around, though, for wear that was as revealing as... the law would allow, and soon began to attract admiring glances from the rest of the people in her street, several of whom, male of course, took to rising early in order to see her go by.It was not until after six weeks of this new, energetic and Spartan regime that she decided she would run all the way to work every morning. It was only eight. They had vanished. Their technology remained, dead Reapers remained scattered throughout the galaxy, and the damage they had already inflicted through their incursions did not suddenly heal, but when scouts reported back from the galactic shore, they told the same story. They were gone.Commander Jane Shepard and her crew were just as surprised as anyone. Shepard herself was more than a little embarrassed, but also more than a little relieved. Life, it seemed, would go on. In time, some of her. Are you...?" Lena's lip trembled as tears started to form in her eyes again. But not tears of sadness; not this time. With a shriek of his name, Lena flung herself onto the floor and into Arion's arms. They clutched at each other desperately, afraid that if they let go now, it would all be just a dream. "Arion!" Lena wept, her arms flung around his torso. "I missed you so much, Arion! I love you so much!" Arion shook with emotion as he held her, his limbs trembling in a way he had not felt in. "I've been invited for Thanksgiving and I'm going to drive down on Tuesday. Red wants me play golf with her Dad on Wednesday. So I guess I'll see down there next week."I wasn't sure, but somehow I didn't think that went over to well. By that time we had gotten to her door and we said goodnight.The next morning I called Greg and told him what had transpired and was all in favor of a civil action against both M and HH. I also sent an e-mail to Cindy telling her about what went on yesterday and to.
