"What was that?"
I closed my lips and thought. Next to me, Titania had her mouth covered and was squealing.
What did I say?
"Would you?" I asked again, slightly shocked at the words that left me. It was almost as if I had no control over myself.
Lethe grabbed my hand and pulled me closer. She leaned down and whispered in my ears.
"You are the one who doesn't get a choice," she said. "You will marry me. You get no choice."
I nodded.
"That was the plan, of course."
Lethe stayed like that for a second.
"You want to get married now? Right now?"
"If it's possible."
A short round of silence loomed.
Her breaths passed by her veil and fell on my neck and ears.
"Do you want a big ceremony?"
"Of course not…"'
I gently ran my hand through her hair. It was still as soft as before. I almost felt sad since our hair didn't share the same color anymore.
Lethe continued speaking in a soft whisper.
