The two people intoxicated in love forgot their surroundings and allowed themselves to be swept away by the euphoria that they had experienced for the first time.
Aleksis had been obsessed with her 'Prince Siegfried' for 8 years while Alaric had never been in love before. But since the first time he met Aleksis as an adult, he had not been able to escape her charms.
Aleksis was very intelligent, beautiful, and pleasant, and her whole self seemed to radiate the warmth of love so foreign to Alaric.
During his long life, Alaric had been accustomed to living in solitude. His heart was frozen solid, its entrance closed for decades. He never felt the need to open it for anyone. That was until this girl came like a storm and decimated all the walls he had built up to survive the seemingly endless solitude.
They kissed on the couch, holding each other's heads and shoulders as their breathing began to get faster and more irregular.
