I wait anxiously for Darius to say it.
Those words.
I stare deep into his eyes and likewise, he stares into mine.
"I..." He speaks, and I feel myself involuntarily leaning in. "will say those words, only when I'm chained to a wall and about to die." He says with a wide grin on his face and I dawn an equally opposite expression on my face.
Chained to a wall and about to die huh? Perhaps I could arrange that.
"All done Luna Abigail." The Kerigore wolf I keep forgetting is here speaks, flustering me.
"Oh...thank you." I say, fumbling my words.
The Kerigore wolf rises, then he makes for the door, bowing to Darius before exiting through the space Darius gives him.
Now it's just the two of us.
Darius makes his way to me and takes a knee when he stands in front of me.
"Are you going to propose?" I ask, and he chuckles.
He takes my hands and analyzes the wound, now almost gone.
