Oliver in battle

Ezra and Violet took a carriage from the city and headed toward his home; he decided not to worry about the fact that Violet was coming as well. He was her boyfriend as of now, so he decided that he should act like one every once in a while. 

The carriage soon left the city, and they were on their way to Ezra's hometown. Inside the carriage, Violet leaned on Ezra, resting her body and head on him. 

"I find it hard to know if what you do is an act or if you are truly honest with your feelings," Ezra said. 

"I am honest with my feelings, but that is only when I am with you. When I am outside, I have to keep the visage of the cold, perceptive girl, but with you, I can let go. 

I feel free and safe. That's the reason I act like this with you. I want someone that can treat me like a child, where I can forget that I am a mage and also a soldier in a current war." Violet said.
