Forever and Always

Sparhawk stepped over the pot and though she loved every inch of his gift she couldn’t take her blue and lavender gaze from his features. The smile she wore was genuine and reached the entirety of her features, from her gem like eyes to her dark lips to the gentle blush that lit up her cheeks. Every part of the gift was well thought out and encompassed their whole relationship in one items. She tilted her head curiously at his last item but as he took her paw and gazed deeply into her eyes she could understand.

Her heart beat a thousand miles a second in her chest and her breaths came in excited gasps as Sparhawk uttered those sweet words. His accent still deep and unique but his speech was clear and there was no mistaking the words that flowed from his heart with practiced grace. Tears sprung to Poem’s eyes as she barely held herself back from taking him up in her arms as he spoke.

”Yes,” she squeaked, all of the emotions that had built up and that they shared between them coming through. Tears spilled over onto her cheeks but they were tears of joy. ”Yes, I’ll be your wife. I’ve loved you since that same night. I want you beside me all my life. I love you, Sparhawk.” Then she didn’t hold back, and closing the distance between them aimed to wrap her arms around her neck and kiss him like she hadn’t ever before.
