Legolas felt a sharp stab to his heart at the sight of the two elves talking together. He was not close enough to hear what they were saying, but it was clear the two knew each other very well indeed. He couldn't see Lómódë's face, only that of the handsome stranger, who was smiling broadly.
He saw the way the elf touched her intimately on the shoulder, and it made his soul ache. They must be lovers of some sort, perhaps in the past. But now he had come back to claim her. He had been sending her gifts, and she had never told him. What had she been going to do, just lead him on until the moment she was walking out the door?

He caught himself just in time. Of course, she hadn't been leading him on, had she? She had never given him any reason to think that she would ever be anything other than a friend. She was free to do whatever she wanted, and he had no hold over her affections whatsoever. If she loved this man and he could make her happy, he would have to accept it, and not try to stand in her way. Even try to look happy for her.

Gloomily, Legolas watched the couple leave. She looked back at him just once, and in her expression he thought he read an apology. Perhaps she had finally realised that she was breaking his heart.
