27th of December,1964

A several minutes later...

Jude's POV

Once I reborned back at home by opening the door, thereafter closing it behind me, I heard Timothy's voice yelling my name in ecstas, sprinting from the kitchen to the hall to take me instantly into his arms for a firm and warm hug after my exhausting but pleasant working day after Christmas holidays. I felt helpless and powerless into his hugs, admitting it frankly.

-Good evening, darling!- I saluted him a little before the hug process with a broad smile across my lips.

-Rare bird, you are back finally!*standing in the hall,at the border between the kitchen and the corridor,smirking to me, his chocolate eyes glowing, thus interracting to me in quicker pace within less than 3 seconds*  Good evening to you too!- He stated with gleeful voice as soon as he syllabled, his both hands patting friendly and lightly my upper back through the coat's material.

I couldn't be much happier to be in my future husband's arms especially after a fatiguing day on work that could efficiently sooth my body in spiritual way, my energy, my mind and everything else that pressures me. The embrace lasted for about a minute, followed by a romantic, for sadly short lasting kiss on the lips, therefore breaking off the hug by kicking off my boots, hanging the coat on the hook in the hall, hopping up my bare feet in the cosy and comfortable slippers, heading to the kitchen together whilst discussing along how my working day after the holidays passed until we sat down on the kitchen table next to each other, placing my both hands on the wooden table as I was dying of hunger and thirst. 

During the discussion, Timothy did study my expression and body language, noticing something, hinting him that I haven't eaten and drank something for the last 4-5-6 hours.

-Did your colleagues including your boss behold your proposal ring from me, rare bird?- He questioned with a broad smile, awaiting for my answer, his eyes didn't stop to gaze at mine with desire, affection and unconditional glee.

-Yes, two of them except Jonathan. They were tremendously glad for me, congratulating me. Likewise, they were totally shocked especially my younger colleagues Charlotte and Ramona. - I replied his question brutally honest, he cupped my both hands in his palms, sensing the warm sensation that could render me to fall asleep as far as my body was betraying me, being much weaker than my body. 

-That is so delighting to hear it. They were obviously speechless, sweetheart.- Timothy was rather contended to hear it than to express dissatisfaction.

-They were!- I responded with a dry throat, still surviving without water and food for more than 4-5 hours.

-Rare Bird?*I stared at him even more intensely with a wide smile, squeezing my hands as he observed my face more cautiously* You seem weak I mean...you haven't eaten and drank within hours. Don't you need some fuel so that refill yourself with some energy at least?- He posed the question with concerness, worrying for strong body.

-I am not hungry at all. I am rather thirsty.- I uttered frankly, without any hesitations as I stood off the chair, gripping an empty glass, filling it with fresh water, sipping as I returned back on the table.

-Honey, I am caring for you!*sighing anxiously* You need some food for your beautiful skinny body. 

-I know, darling!*sipping* It is almost midnight and I am planning very soon to go to sleep. And now we are talking about eating. I have handled hours even a few days without any food.*Suddenly he cupped my both cheeks in his both palms which could reassure me too* I have gained a couple of pounds after I left Briarcliff but that doesn't offset my bony body.- I glanced at my thin biceps with an innocent smile.

-Judy, I don't care about your weight! You are always going to remain my gorgeous and perfect Queen into my eyes even if you were either far too skinny or chubby. You are unique and so prominent, without judging your slender body! 

-*feeling my cheeks heating due to those kind and adorable words* Aww, thank you, Tim! You are perfect for me even if you had issues with your weight also.*he stroked my both cheeks with his thumbs tenderly* Do you know how those compliments truly mean a lot to me? I mean...-My sentence remained unfinished whilst I syllabled with velvet voice.

-I know what do you mean. Damn those who underestimated your colorful personality and divine beauty, rare bird! Because they haven't discovered you fully as a character, developing utterly their own worldview of you. They gave up in the fight too early, letting themselves the fear to conquer their bodies and minds, corrupting them to become marionettes of the fear to discover your inner and complex beauty, Judy!

Then the silence grew into a tense retribution that dominated in the kitchen for a while, without being interrupted. I couldn't be more delighted to hear from somebody such touching and mighty words especially from the man who drastically changed himself from the selfish, willing for glory and possession priest into a loving, caring and frank future husband of mine. I haven't expected from his mouth to come such interlacing your heart words that could melt your heart until it sinks in a melted liquid pool that. My smile grew even more.
