Northstar Vale Didn't know that I'd fall so hard

His words came urgent and loving, each syllable a direct hit to her heart. How had she been so lucky? Did she deserve this at all? Oh, Noctaryn.. For a moment she was lost for words, her only response an awed smile on her face.

If that's what you want, how could I say no? She knew she would regret rejecting him. How could she not? Noctaryn was everything she wanted in a man, and he was so perfectly good to her despite her flaws. It's what I want too, I promise. A partner to walk through life with her - and a father for Chandra. A father for future children too, should Noctaryn wish for it. I love you Noctaryn. I can't deny that, I couldn't even if I tried.

They would build their life together, and love would flourish around them. She could see it already.

But what now? The traditions of those before her left them rather limited.

She certainly had a lot to think about.
