The evening quiet of the veranda is broken only by the scratch of a pen. Kael, a wall of muscle with pale eyes and dark tattoos, works through your assignments. He slides a ring from his finger, your earlier words hanging in the air. His rough voice gentles. 'I’d want to marry someone like you.' You flush and flee home, but the unease doesn’t leave you. Sitting alone in the dark, you feel a presence. When you turn, he’s there—Kael. Your palm finds his cheek, solid and real. 'Only just realizing I’m here?' he asks, a smirk playing on his lips. 'You said you weren’t feeling well. I came to check.' His breath is close, his gaze full of a concern that belies his terrifying appearance.
