There he was. King of Rohan. And you stood next to him, as he was your husband. This meant that you were a ruler of Rohan. But simply ruling a kingdom wasn't a life for you. After hearing tales about battle from your husband, Éomer, you dreamed of a life out there.

You told him this as soon as you two got home. "My dear, I was wondering if you could... well, if we could ride around Rohan."

Éomer smiled. "Of course, my star." he answered. "We can mount Firefoot and take a ride around here."

The two of you chatted silently until Éowyn came in to check on her brother and her friend. She was the one who set you and your husband up on a date, and you are so grateful that she did. You would never be married to Éomer if she hadn't.

"Good day, you two." greeted Éowyn. "Sorry to intrude, but I was only wondering what you were doing." You ran up to give her a hug. Éowyn has actually been away from Rohan for some time after marrying Faramir.

"Oh, Éowyn, I missed you so much!" you exclaimed. "How are things with Faramir?" Éomer walked up to his sister and hugged her tightly. The two siblings had such a good relationship with each other, and that made you happy.

"Faramir and I love each other very much. I couldn't ask for a better husband. How about you two?"

"Éomer and I are fantastic." You looked up to your beloved happily. "We are planning to ride Forefoot around Rohan some time." Éomer quickly pecked you on the lips.

"Well, I wish you a good time. I love you!" Éowyn called out before she left.

The love of your life gently laid a hand on your shoulder. He sighed and soon began to massage your shoulders. You slowly shut your eyes and exhaled.

He continued to massage you until he patted your back and sat on your shared bed. You sat next to him and laid your head on his laps.

"My star, when shall we go horseback riding? I cannot wait to look around Rohan with you." Éomer asked.

"Perhaps tomorrow." you responded. "Anyways, since we are now in bed, why don't we just lay down in bed and wind down for the day?

"Of course, my love." Éomer bent down and kissed your temple. Then, you lifted your head from his lap and tucked yourself into bed. Your husband got into bed with you and teased you a little, and you returned the teasing, until the two of you figured that it was time to sleep.

The very next morning, you and Éomer got dressed for the horseback riding. He walked you to the stables and prepared Firefoot. After he finished saddling up his horse, he kissed your cheek and hopped on. You hopped on Firefoot and wrapped your arms around Éomer.

At last, Firefoot rode out and off you were, riding around part of Rohan. The folk greeted you, and you returned as many greetings as you could.

"Are you enjoying the ride?" Éomer asked.

"I am. But I enjoy everything I do with you." you said. "Because I love you."

"I love you, too." said Éomer.

Later, you got off of Firefoot while on a grassy field and sat together for a while. It was the late afternoon, meaning that you were not watching the sunset together, you were simply looking at the blue sky around you.

Éomer hugged you and held you close. "What should we do when we get back on Firefoot?" he asked.

"Head home. Maybe we can enjoy some lunch, if you'd like to," you responded. Your husband nodded.

A few minutes had passed, and it was time to go back home. You and Éomer hopped on Firefoot and he galloped into Rohan. The horse rode to the stables, where you and your beloved got off of Firefoot.

As you said goodbye to Firefoot, the man leaned against a wall and looked at you with a smile on his face. Once you saw him, you smirked and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Come, my love, let us eat lunch." you told him.

"I'm coming, my dear." Éomer said. He sped towards you as you walked out of the stables.

Soon, you and Éomer were eating some lunch. You talked about many things, such as Rohan and things that happened throughout the day. Conversations with your husband similar to the ones you two had during lunch happened often, which you liked.

At the moment, the ride you and Éomer took earlier today was the topic of your conversation.

"I had so much fun with you today." you began. "I think we should ride around Rohan again sometime."

"Of course we should." agreed Éomer. "And we will. Anything for you, my star."

Night came hours later, and you went to sleep. Tomorrow was going to be a wonderful day, and you could hardly wait.

In the morning after getting dressed, you and Éomer set up Firefoot for another ride. This time, you two were going to find a grassy field to sit on and admire the bright blue sky. Your arms were around Éomer's chest and you felt his breathing.

Éomer stopped Firefoot and got off of him. He then lifted you up from his horse, laughed with you and set you down. You leaned closet to your husband, as you loved him with all of your heart. Moments like these where you would sit next to each other and laugh were always the greatest.

You looked at your husband and wondered how on Middle-earth you got a man like him. He also wondered how he found someone like you and felt lucky that Éowyn chose to set the two of you up.

"Éomer?" you said. The man looked at you. "Thank you for all this. For taking me around Rohan, for caring for me, and for being the best husband."

"No, thank you for being the best." Éomer planted a kiss on your head and stared out into the distance. Oh, how you love that man.
