It's true. I'm decidedly happy, for once. I've got a wife, a home, and a strange about of... normalcy. I say strange pointedly, because nothing about my life has been normal. We are happy, though not universally so, and I'm even more pleased because of it. True happiness is entwined with sadness; it's the low moments that make the high moments seem that much better.
I've still got my enemies. But for the time being, I think I can stop looking over my shoulder. 'phina will be pleased with that, for she's always complaining about my habit of wearing armor to bed. Old habits are hard to break, but I've done what I can for her. She's the first person to really... force me to change. For the better. I've mended myself, a bit, and she certainly helped me do that.
I haven't gotten that old wanderlust, either. Not yet, anyway. I hope that I don't, but I have a hunch that if I do, she'll follow me. She won't care. And that's why I love her.
