"Just the three of us", Ratigan repeated and pulled Sabor closer to him embracing her in a bit and warm hug. Or as warm as it could be in that pouring rain. There really weren’t that many things Ratigan would need with him. He  could even leave his car here, because he had people who could sell it, and you could always buy a new car if you wanted one that looked the same. "I’ll make the calls. We’ll leave as first thing in the morning", he added and loosened the hug so he could place his lips on Charlotte’s. "Do what you need and see me back in the apartment after that." Ratigan smiled, just a bit, but it was a smile. Leaving this hellhole was really the thing he needed right now, and getting Sabor with him was even better. Otis kissed Sabor’s forehead before letting go and then he was already walking away.

[savagesabor]

         Charlotte's arms wrapped around Otis' waist, holding him close and simply enjoying their close proximity. In that moment, despite the poor weather, she couldn't be happier. This was it. This was just the start of the rest of her life, and she couldn't have chosen a better person to embark on the journey with. "Mmm, wonderful," she hummed, beaming as she returned the kiss. "I will see you shortly, then." She took Otis' hand in hers, threaded their fingers and gave his hand a squeeze before letting go and scurrying off to take care of her business right away.

         Charlotte Sabor would be free for the first time in her life.

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Can't believe...

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Thanks Sabor. It means a lot.

[savagesabor]

          Of course. You know I mean it.

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Really?

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Woody moved to hug her back, keeping his arms tight around her. He listened as she spoke, but he still couldn’t believe it. Sabor had become such a large part of his life that having her leave threw him for a loop. He nodded lightly and sighed. “I promise I will take care of myself. And you should know that you are just as important to me. Which is another reason why I am so happy you are happy. It’s funny to think our friendship started with me telling you I wanted you to be happy.” He laughed lightly, still keeping his hold on her.

[savagesabor]

          Her arms wrapped around him securely, holding the younger man to her and only imagining how she was completely taking him off guard. It wasn't fair to him, such late notice, but she had not been expecting this-- neither her departure nor her close connection to him. "Ah, yes, how ironic," she chuckled softly, resting her chin lightly on his his shoulder. "That just goes to prove how much you've helped me develop, doesn't it? I've you to thank for that."

[its-heros-duty]

Calhoun mulled it over for a flat two seconds before she said, "Caramel machiatto with a double shot. And.. Thank you." She smiled a little bit and chuckled at how stupid she must have sounded. But, what could she say? Those drinks were fantastic.

[savagesabor]

          "No need to thank me," she dismissed with a faint smile and the shrugging of her shoulders; it seemed as though the other woman was going through a difficult process of thought, so she didn't much mind offering a small caffeine boost to possibly aid her. She didn't really care about what the other ordered; at least it wasn't some wretched citrus splahsberry concoction or whatever horrendous mixture people were coming up with these days. Stepping up, she ordered her own selection (mocha iced coffee), then Calhoun's, paid and stepped back to the other woman's side as they waited.

[king-ratigan]

Ratigan wasn’t just Sabor’s anchor — she was his too. She made him feel whole, especially when he already almost lost her once, and now that she was back, Otis did feel like he was whole. She was what he wanted, what he needed. She was his future.

"I want to go soon as possible. I can get us a way out for tonight. Maybe even for few hours from this moment. I just need to inform the girls that I’m going, but that’s all I need to do. You, me and Frona. I still have my house in London, we can move there. We can sell everything from here, send them over to London or just leave them behind. I don’t care."

[savagesabor]

         When he spoke of how quickly he could get the two of them away, it truly settled in of how elated she was that she had made the right decision of returning instead of throwing her life away. How could she possibly give a single care about her parents or siblings when she got to spend the rest of her life with the man who held her heart in his hands? It wouldn't be easy, she was sure-- they'd have their ups and downs like any other couple-- but there was no one else she wanted to take that risk with. They would make it through; they'd already endured the hardest part of revealing their feelings in the first place.

        "Perfect," she agreed, unable to stop the smile blooming across her features-- not that she even wanted to, really. "I've only one person to depart with, so I'll easily be ready that soon." Then he brought up their options regarding their items, and she shook her head. "Just leave everything here," she dismissed. None of her belongings had much sentimental value to them, anyway, besides the onyx necklace still around her neck. "I want to start over completely, just the two of us and Frona."

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Can't believe...

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Yeah, I would hope he is.

[savagesabor]

          Ah. [she lets out a little rush of air, something near a soft chuckle] I may not be sure of much, but one thing I am is that he is. You've a lot for him to be proud of.

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Really?

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

*pauses and looks down at his feet before looking back to her* I’m happy for you. It sounds like you guys will be happy.

[savagesabor]

          Oh, Woody... [she sighs] You must know how much I'll miss you. You've grown to be-- you've grown to be a dear friend of mine, truly, and I'll never forget or be ungrateful for all the support you've given me. And I'll be sure to stay in contact; you'll never be rid of me completely. [she smiles wryly, remaining silent for a few moments before leaning to give him a tight hug] Though, you must promise me that you'll take care of yourself in my absence. Know you can always call if you need someone to talk to.

[its-heros-duty]

"I know I'm not a pest. But I respect the authority above me like a responsible person and would definitely take it up with them first," Calhoun's obvious CIA upbringing was showing, a sigh leaving her lips. "That was my old self talking.. Even then, and now, I would have done it if I really wanted to."

[savagesabor]

          A faint smirk tugged at Sabor's lips; that was the difference between the two of them: Sabor didn't respect anyone regardless of their status in the hierarchy unless they earned it first. Just because a person was in a position of authority didn't mean they automatically deserved anything from her. She nodded faintly in acknowledgement, then glanced over at the other. "Whaddyou want? It's on me."

[connotativewords]

I want to come home to you and taste the waiting on your lips. I want the roses in my hand to fall on the floor because of the impact of your embrace. I want my nails etched into the trench of your back as you bury your head into my collarbone, while your lips unintentionally press against my neck. I want to feel the beating of your heart as it brings me to my knees. I want to taste the desire seeping through your skin and hear the distress exhaled of your lungs. I want your sigh of relief and I want you endlessly. I want every inch of you as you’ve already taken me.

[king-ratigan]

It was Ratigan’s time to let the tears come. He wasn’t someone to cry, but now that he had gotten over emotional about everything that had been happening during the last few weeks, he just let it show. Nothing else mattered right now than the fact that Charlotte was finally really back, in his arms, kissing him back. Not even the fact that he had tears falling down his cheeks.

Ratigan broke the kiss after a while. “I’m getting enough of this place. I miss London. I’ve been missing it for a while already, but I didn’t understand how much until you left. I wanted to go to London right after I read your letter, but I couldn’t, because I hoped you would come back here. I didn’t want to leave without letting you know. So I stayed. But now that you’re back.. Would you go there with me? Share my true life?”

[savagesabor]

          When Sabor tasted the salty addition of Ratigan's tears to the rain, she just clutched him tighter, grasping as though he was an anchor she used to keep her grounded in the midst of a hurricane. And, in a way, he was; he was her rock, her solace and her entire heart-- and she would never, ever let him go again. The relief that coursed through her was indescribable; it was impossible to put into words how grateful she was that he was still here; he was here and he hadn't left her.

          Once she'd pulled back a little, arms still wrapped around him, she listened to him speak and felt another pang of guilt when he mentioned how he'd stayed because he didn't want to leave without informing her-- like she'd left him. But what she hadn't expected was an offer. Her eyes widened slightly at the idea of getting as far away from everything that had been fighting her in this continent; this was her chance to start anew. "Yes," she breathed when she found her voice, nodding vigorously. "Oh, yes, I will. I would like nothing more than that. I would follow you to the ends of the earth if it meant I got to be with you." She smiled, then, feeling rather warm all the sudden despite the chill. "I just want you."

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Can't believe...

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

No, it’s okay. I just…with it being fathers day, it was a good reminder.

[savagesabor]

          He'd be proud of you, y'know, I'm sure.

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

Really?

[deputywoody-deactivated20140930]

*watches her curiously before letting out a soft breath* Um, okay. What’s going on?

[savagesabor]

          I, uh, I figured that I should tell you that I'm-- that I'm moving to London with Ratigan. [a beat] Tomorrow.

[its-heros-duty]

Calhoun had considered it. And the base owed her. So they could pay for her trips. But there were still obstacles. “He wants a family. After we’re married,” she told her. “I don’t think that.. The ringmasters would like that.. If I showed up pregnant.”

[savagesabor]

          A soft snort escaped her as she glanced up at the order board, eyes running over the selections. "After all the work you've done, I'm sure the ringmasters can afford to suck it up; besides, it's not like you're some pesky visitor that's gonna get in the way. You know what's acceptable and what's not."

[mrsmunsons]

Let’s play.

[its-heros-duty]

"It's difficult.. trying to decide between going and staying. Because each place has equal value to me," she said softly, smiling a little.

[savagesabor]

          When the two reached the café, Sabor moved to hold the door open for the woman, an action she did not often perform. "No one said you couldn't visit either places," she commented thoughtfully with a smile, stepping in after her and making her way to the ordering station. "If they both mean so much to you, as they obviously do."
