The Effect
Eltanin gazed at his wife. After he had reclaimed her, she appeared relaxed and harmonious. The night's rest also worked wonders on her. He saw how her wings rustled under his gaze. It made him feel good to see the effect he had on her.
"How are you feeling, Tania?" he asked softly. All he wanted right now was to hold her in his arms and stay just like that. It had been days when he had spent quality time with her. There had been so much tension all the time that he had forgotten what relaxation was.
"I am feeling well, she breathed.
He was supposed to tell her that they had to return to Draka, but he said, "Would you like to take a walk on the shores of Stourin? They are very beautiful at night."
Tania's face heated till her ears. Her husband was asking her for an evening out. Suddenly, she too was looking forward to spending time with him. Rather waste her time with him. It had been so many days when they had simply squandered time with him.
