Tristan smiled ruefully and took her into his arms. “The answer to the riddle, it seems, lay within me all along. Until such a time arrives; the oath of two is spoken. ’Twas when I said I love you, after you said it to me. Forgive me, my love.”
“’Tis what broke the spell? Your declaration of love?” Clarissa gasped.
Tristan dropped his head. “I have been such a proud fool, my love. All this time, I could have ended the separation.”
Clarissa reached out and touched his cheek. “Nay. Do not live with regret. Let us live for now, for this moment, for each and every moment together from this day forth.”
And the two sealed their pact with a kiss.
