Epilogue "If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere..."
Fourteen years to the day that Albus and Minerva got married they were stepping out of their fireplace back from a long Order meeting. This summer, and last, had been so busy with gathering their resources in the war they had had very little time together. Minerva knew Albus was busy, but to be honest she did miss him; and he her. Many times during Ministry meetings his name would be called several times before he responded. Rumors were circulating that he was finally acting his old age, but the truth was he was too focused on the very vivid, and not so innocent, images of his wife that kept coming to his mind. The worst had been right before the term started for last year. The night before Albus’ meeting Minerva had been in a very playful mood, and they hadn’t gone to sleep till about two in the morning; all he could think about was the way she looked in her new nightie.
So when this anniversary rolled around Albus decided he wanted to give her something special; something that would tell Minerva that she was still his entire world. As they came into the sitting room Minerva moved to the bedroom. Upon approaching her vanity she saw a long box neatly wrapped lying near her brush. “Albus…”
“Yes, love…” he asked standing in the door way leaning on the frame.
“What’s this,” Minerva asked still looking at the box.
“Why don’t you open it and see,” Albus said as he came to stand beside of his wife.
Opening the box with caution Minerva looked quickly to Albus when she saw the box was from Tiffany’s. He just smiled, and kissed her temple urging her to open it. Inside was the pearl necklace she had admired fourteen years ago.
“Oh Albus…you remembered, but how…” Minerva asked with tears in her eyes as she looked up to her husband.
“I just popped over to get it one day. I wanted remind you that no matter how busy life becomes during this war and at Hogwarts that you are my entire world. I love you so much, Minerva, and I cannot express in words how you have gotten me through the very worst of my days. Knowing I can come home to you, or hold you as I sleep or just talk to you over chess does more for me than anything else could.” When Albus finished Minerva’s tears had spilled out of her eyes, and he reached a hand to wipe them away.
“No tears, love.” Minerva just smiled, and gently lifted the necklace from the box to place it around her neck. Then taking Albus’ hands she said: “Thank you, Albus. You shouldn’t have spent this much money on me, but thank you. Don’t worry, Darling, I know you love me; and I know when you are away you would rather be home, I guess it is what I get for falling for the greatest wizard of our age,” she added smiling softly. “I love you so much, Albus. I’m not really sure I can express how much either, in words, it is just you complete me. I’ve never felt so alive, so happy, and as loved as I do when I’m around you. Thank you.”
Leaning in to kiss her Albus moved so he could gently pick his wife up, and carry her to their bed. Forgetting about the world and deciding order business could wait till at least noon the next day the couple expressed what could not be expressed in words.

How is it possible that I've never read this before? I'm glad I finally have, because it is so adorable and wonderful and sweet!
One little thing that bugged me: where as in, "where are you?" or "where are we going" is w-h-e-r-e. You tend to use either wear or were a lot.
But hey, minor detail!
The plot and characterization and everything was great, and that's what really counts!

I loved it! I love the song, the ship, the story, everything!
The baseball game was a great idea; my uncle proposed to my aunt at a baseball game, he had them run 'the question' on the screen and everybody cheered when she said yes. The best part was it was her birthday and she hates baseball!
Fabulous work!

For whatever reason, I hadn't read this until today. Sorry, my bad.
It is wonderful. I really liked how each chapter reflected the line from the song. The epilogue was just adorable.

I was just re-reading, and I got confused.
Did they ever go see Cats? I thought they were doing dinner, show, jazz club, but they went dancing right after dinne, right? So.... No Cats?
hmm....
;D

I'm glad an old story has sparked interest, and thank you for the reviews. In answer to Amandah Leigh: A little wary at first Minerva ended up loving the show, and pledged that she would find the book once they got back home. Excited that she had loved it Albus was walking on air.
It took another forty-five minutes but they finally found a good jazz club, and they were on the floor dancing as soon as they arrived.
They did indeed see the show. I apologize if that was not entirely clear.

This is the third story I have read by you today and gosh you didn't let me down! It was all so....well fluffily cutie wootsie for lack of better words. It left me with a smile on my face and you've gotta love Tiffany's! I got a bracelet for my birthday last year and I've told my Dad I need the matching earings this year. *fingers crossed eh*  Anyway I thought it was great and the epilogue just rounded it off nicely!
