Throw me in the water

Being brought back to Abaven, meeting her uncle, and subsequently helping to raise her cousins who she called nephews was enough excitement for the rest of her life. If she could do something to keep Abaven this peaceful and homey for the rest of her life she wouldn’t hesitate. That wasn’t how life worked though, and she could see a future with Corvus fighting to preserve this perfect peace.

Had she not loved the idea of moving in together and taking the next step to their relationship she would have told him, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. He’d put his heart and soul into their new home and Twig adored it. She sighed heavily with contentment and leaned further into him, wanting nothing more than to embrace him here and fall asleep in his arms. He replied to her softly, admitting his feelings and opening up his heart for her.

”I don’t want anyone else.” She returned truthfully, and hesitantly, just in case there was any doubt left, she lifted her lips to his. She was gentle and careful, but with every hesitation there was passion as well. Corvus made her feel like no one else did. Heavily lidded eyes slid closed if he’d accept her affections, and while he offered the next step in their relationship Twig felt the desire to as well. ”Corvus,” she whispered as she pulled back slightly to take in his forest green gaze. ”Be mine? Forever?” Now it was her turn to fear rejection, this was an incredible step to take, but he was the one she wanted to move forward with. He was worth the risk.
