She knew not how long she lay in the comforting circle of Sam's arms. Her mother's final words seemed firmly lodged in her conciousness. Pushing them down she concentrated on feeling part of a family, though it was not her own.
She didn't have a family anymore.

They sat in silence until Rosie bustled in. "Sorry if I'm interrupting." She was, but they both thought too highly of her to mention it. "Sammy dear there's a young man, waiting to see you. Bergil, his name was."

A man? Now that was strange. King Elessar had passed a law, secluding the Shire from outsiders and yet there was a man waiting outside.

Lily withdrew from Sam's embrace and looked up expectantly, hopeing she didn't look as awful as she felt.
