Faramir looked at Denethor and nodded. “What I would not give to stay here with my father, though!”

“Gondor, that is what you would not give.”


What a perceptive exchange. Your dialogues ring so true.

I appreciate how you continue to subtly weave the spirit of Finduilas (or should it be Finduilas' spirit) into the lives and memories of these two noble men.

Author Reply: Thank you! I imagined that the absence of Finduilas felt like a ‘presence’ within their family. It’s like how an empty chair can remind us of someone, rather than making us forget them just because the chair is empty.
