Xena felt sleep filling her mind again, but Gabrielle’s voice broke the spell one more time.
“If you knew I wouldn’t go to Corinth without you, why did you make me promise?”
Xena looked at her. “Habit.”
Gabrielle snuggled closer. “Don’t make me promise to leave you again.”
Xena stared over Gabrielle’s head at the dying fire for a long time. Just as she felt the younger woman’s breathing fade into the gentle rhythm of sleep, she whispered, “I promise.”
Perfect. Totally canon. ♥
