Amaran nodded and ran a hand through his dark hair. “Yes sir, crystal clear.” He’d gotten mostly the same speech from his wife. “I don’t plan on breaking your daughter’s heart.”

He is out for a walk today.

I could fix that.

As the lady wishes~

He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her passionately. “Hi my love.”

He wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly to him. “Forgive my absence…”

“I…am now…slight issue in the lab but it’s been handled.” He gave her a nervous smile.

“Just a minor mishap with a spell and some unhappy undead. Nothing I couldn’t handle, my love.”

He leaned into her touch and relaxed. “Are you alright?”

“Oh? And how may I remedy this for you, my love?” He kissed her softly.

He nodded softly. “Do you wish to come home with me? It’s not your beloved castle…but it is mine.” Amaran lived in a small apartment within Whitestone, for moments when he was working in the city late.

He took her hand and led her to the outskirts of the city, to a small but pleasant apartment. “It isn’t briarwood manor…but it’s mine.” He smiled shyly.

“You think so?” He asked softly as he closed the door behind them.

“I love you too.” He wrapped his arms around her waist, looking down at her. “What do you wish of me?”

He smiled softly and bowed his head to kiss her properly. His arms tightened around her to pressed her against him.

He bent his knees and picked her up, chuckling softly into the kiss. “I love you…”

“I am far from perfect, my dear.” He walked them back to his bedroom. It was dimly lit, with a nice bed and some sort of office space in the corner along with a window that over looked the city.

He made a small noise and laid her on the bed, before pulling away to look at her. “And you take me as I am…you’re truly a gift.”

no， we're not soulmates. this is not divine intervention. and this is most certainly not chance. i willed this. i knit the threads of fate myself until they spelled your name. i love you with every bit of conscience i was born with.

(( sorry if I’m not in my accounts a lot. I promise I’m here, but with my family things going on and it’s peak season for Amazon rn. I’ve been super busy with life.
