Meeting Family

"Forgive me," Dion made an apology with his head bowed so slightly. His other hand held Abi in a tight grip as if he was afraid that she would slip away already. "for breaking the news so suddenly." he started with a dramatic act.

"But I confess that I was afraid you would find our love as greed or something darker so I could not let anyone know until she accepted me." he took a deep breath as if he was branching himself for a punch or two.

But the smile at the corner of his lips spoke otherwise. Abi was taken in the dawn by Nora and her other maids when she had just closed her eyes.

She wanted to ask for help but Dion was not there. And it opened her eyes at once. She checked the sky and was sure it was not her illusion. It was hardly half an hour or an hour when they had closed their eyes. He was laying just beside her but he was not there anymore. 

The maids were there though, staring at her as if she was a criminal.
