Love<br />
by Gwyneth<br />
A tall man entered the room that was lit by the fire’s warm shine and sank<br />
into a chair near the fireplace.<br />
The person sitting in another dark-red armchair let a worn-looking book<br />
drop onto his lap and watched his brother, who had closed his eyes for an<br />
instant.<br />
“Reading again?” Boromir asked casually.<br />
A faint smile appeared on Faramir’s face. “Always, you know.”<br />
He paused and they sat quietly for some time, neither of them saying<br />
anything. They both watched the flames flickering within their man-made home<br />
until Faramir spoke again.<br />
“And where have you been the whole evening?”<br />
“In the gardens,” Boromir slowly answered.<br />
The younger one lifted his head, looking into his brother’s tired face.<br />
“Alone?”<br />
”No,” came the not-very-detailed answer.<br />
”You have been out not alone quite often lately,” Faramir remarked.<br />
”Quick noticing you are, dear brother.” There was the hint of a laugh in<br />
Boromir’s voice.<br />
”But I am right, am I not?” Faramir wouldn’t give up.<br />
”Yes, certainly, you are right.”<br />
”Then you are still not tired of meeting her?”<br />
”Of course not,” Boromir said defensively.<br />
“Well, I assumed that,” Faramir returned, smiling.<br />
”Aye, and why are you grinning in such a foolish manner now? Is there<br />
something wrong?”<br />
“Oh, no, I just wondered what was so special about this woman to make<br />
you not wish to meet other women besides her anymore. I remember you being<br />
ever very eager to spend time with more women than just one.” Faramir kept<br />
smiling with a knowing look in his eyes.<br />
Boromir looked annoyedly at him. “Maybe, but what is the matter with it?”<br />
he snapped.<br />
”Do not get angry, brother. Remember it is me. You do not have to justify<br />
or to hide anything from me,” Faramir said softly.<br />
