"Once upon a time, in the kingdom of the south, there was a scared young man named Sir Benjamin. Now, Sir Benjamin, he'd been alone since he was a young man, and nobody wanted him and he didn't want anyone. At least, he didn't think he did. Then along came the City Knight, Sir Marcus, who was charged with protecting the people of the kingdom. His armor was a little dinged, and his heart a little tired, because he'd loved and lost and wasn't sure he could love again. Then one wet, cold night, he met Sir Benjamin, and rescued him."

Marcus felt a single tear run slowly down his cheek. "No, baby, you have that wrong. It was Sir Benjamin who rescued Sir Marcus."

Benjamin kissed the tear away and whispered, "They rescued each other. But, baby, it's not the end. With you, it will never be the end."
