I thought living as a rogue and constantly being on the move is what kept me on edge and gave me a homesick feeing but being away from Lilly seemed to be the main problem. Laying in bed with her in my arms I felt more peace than I ever had, she was my home.

Having her close in my arms and finally being able to sleep next her was like heaven on earth. I woke up to her hand stroking my beard and wondered if she hated my scruffy look. It wasn't like I had access to a barber or the tools
