Enough

Tifa found she was holding her breath and had to let it out. The six children in the middle of the pool where Aerith's garden had been had assured her, over and over and over - probably six times per child - that Cloud would be back.

He had to be. She missed him.

The little bit of time they'd had, since he'd returned after her battle with… whoever that was, had not been enough.

It would never be enough, and she would forever regret that she hadn't hunted him down before now if she never saw him again.

Then the children closed their eyes, set their hands just so on the water…

And he was there, looking so much like he was asleep that her heart nearly stopped until his eyes opened.

She relaxed. They had time. It would not be enough, it never was, but they had it.
