Cordelia twirled around, back pressing against the stove at the sudden onslaught of emotions that rolled over her, all of them echoing one thing love. Her mouth opened, preparing to scold the trio for tracking mud all over her freshly cleaned floors, brows pinching together as her hands went to her hips. "Noah Olson! You know better than to-" But her words are cut off as her bear of a husband scooped her into his arms, uncaring that her dress was soaked through in seconds. His hair dripped on her cheeks, skin cold from the rain, but his lips were gently demanding against her own.
A honey sweet sigh slipped past her lips as she melted into him, arms wrapping around his neck as her legs mirrored the motion at his waist, lashes fluttering shut as she kissed him back. Slender fingers found their way into his dripping hair, nails scratching at the nape of his neck, drawing him all the deeper into their kiss. Only when her lungs began to burn, demanding that she gasp for breath, did the One Shot draw back.
Dropping her forehead against his, a faint flush on her now wet cheeks, Cordelia let a smile settle onto her kiss swollen lips. "Welcome home, my heart." She murmured, thumb brushing across his cheek bone lightly as their bond tangled together, becoming one once more. "I'm sorry I was gone for so long. I had to gather some things before I returned." It would be obvious what she meant as soon as Noah took a moment to look.
Family pictures now hung on the walls and decorated surfaces, the quilt she'd spent time crafting was folded lightly across the back of the couch, a few of the dried bouquets he'd gotten her hung upside down or rested in vases. The newest hanging right by their wedding portrait. There was more that couldn't be seen. Like the furs that adorned their bed now, having been carefully brought back from Halo to cover their new wedding bed or the books that lined the shelves, carefully curated over years and years.
"Are you hungry? I made your favorite." His wife breathed, dropping her head back down so her lips brushed his as she spoke, forming every letter against his own. She could feel the goosebumps rising on her skin, the thin linen of her dress doing nothing to keep out the chilly rain water that covered his own clothing.

My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War
