Shizuru, Has it really been two weeks? It felt like years, decades, centuries. Forgive me for being away so long. My obscessive search for the "truth" sometimes clouds my better judgement. No. That's not fair. The truth was that I was afraid. After years of fighting lies and betrayals I was afraid. I was afraid two people like us could never find so much happiness. Even after the lawsuits from the Fujino Conglomerate had been settled; even after our marriage and dodging the tabloids, and even after hiding the origins of that miraculous pregnancy, I feared. With all of the evidnce to the contrary I thought the gods were against our union. Today I lay aside that fear. My place is with you and our children. To be loved by you is the greatest heaven I could ever hope for. My investigations are at an end. Whatever answers I needed are right there in your arms and your smile. I want to spend time reacquainting myself with your body. I want to smell the scent of your hair and put my ear to your breast and listen to your wonderful heart. I want to kiss those lovely lips as they call my name again and again. We'll of course have to find a sitter. Please ask Nao if she's free. I'll be back by week's end. Your love is my only home, Natsuki
