"Moira, I love you. You mean the world to me. I never stopped thinking of you, and I never will stop thinking about you."

There had been expressions of how they felt during their relationship, but this was different to Moira.  Regardless of what happened she wanted this to work, to find a way to rebuild what had been nearly destroyed.  In hear heart she knew if she could believe in nothing else, she could trust in his love.  Deep down she knew he had never been far from her thoughts either during the last few months.

During their time together she had been allowed to see bits and pieces of what lay in Marcus' past, the experiences that formed the man he was, but she had never pushed for more.  It was one of those things she had accepted early on, to take the information she was given and try not to ask too many questions.  The night he returned it was simply habit to not ask for more then she was given.  She tried to respect the boundaries of his past, but perhaps that had inadvertently been a mistake.

She nodded in agreement and then added, "I do want to know...I think if we're going to have a chance we need to not allow there to be an walls."  Pausing for a moment, she felt her heart flutter a bit as she added, "I love you, too.  I never stopped."
