Quote:Kaliska pushed him away. "Listen Brenk." she said firmly, staring hard into his eyes. "I'm gonna' miss you so much it might kill me, and I can imagine it will be the same with you. But listen, from what you've told me, your mission will be dangerous. Don't think of me much. It will only distract you. I don't want you getting hurt; I want you to come home." she hugged him again, tears streaming down her face.Brenk held her close to him. "I know. I don't want to do this. I mean sometimes they let fathers stay until the child is five... but my mission importance is a top priority... If I risk it... Oh Kaliska." He kissed her cheek.
Brenk clung to her tightly. It was killing him too. "You will be my reason to keep going Kaliska... I can't not think on you. You have my heart." He had to go talk to Torid right away.. this could not wait.
Kaliska slightly pushed him away. She knew this was going to hurt both of them, and so, to make it easier, tried to be as strong as she could for Brenk. "We'll be fine." she said, her voice choked and tense. One could tell she was just trying not to cry, and Brenk knew her especially well. She knew he could tell.
"We will be." He kissed her lips. He war sweet lips. He pressed his forehead against hers. "I need to go talk to The Admiral.. I am going to do it right after we get back. I am not waiting until tomorrow."
"Then go now." Kaliska looked eagerly into his eyes. "Couldn't you?" she begged, "We could come back here some other time."
He sighed.. "Okay.. but maybe you should come too."
"Me? Why?" she asked, cocking her head in confusion. "Oh.. I don't know Brenk... I don't know if I trust myself. I might get down on my knees begging." she joked, looking up with a sheepish smile.
