The dark before the dawn

Anais would think his entire crazy scheme was for a flower and he would grin widely, through he wouldn't give the game away. At her comment on Voltage he would chuckle. He had no doubt that 'waking her up' was a polite way of voicing whatever Voltage did to push her from their den. At last, at last, he would tell her the truth of their meeting. The blaze of daylight behind him lit up the tones of her face, and brought color to the tears she cried. He moved closer, hearing her sob, and wrapped her in his paws. His beautiful Anais. He knew beyond a doubt that her tears where joy, astonishment, wonder. He whispered a soft 'thank you' to Voltage who had helped him plan this day, and of course had helped his execute it.

He pulled away a step from his love to scoop up the item he had hidden behind his paw and left lying on the ground when he had moved to hug her. He slipped the soft rope into his mouth as he held it up for Anais to see. Glinting in the growing sunlight was a Quartz of vibrant yellow haloed with soft white veins. It was clearly the perfect match of gold and silver to highlight the eyes of the joining couple.

The Alpha grinned through his mouthful at Anais. “I might have a little help finding your engagement present” he admitted sheepishly, certain she could connect the stone to Voltage's love of rocks.
