Forever and Always

The pair of them moved as one, Sparhawk and Poem both moving to embrace the other for all they were worth. The feeling of his dark lips on hers was nothing like he’d ever shown her before. Perhaps it was what it meant this time, as they easily and without hesitation pledged themselves to the other. Poem didn’t need anyone else, Sparhawk filled her days with joy and love. He was perfect for her.

There was more to come in the night but Poem eagerly lost herself in that kiss before Sparhawk shifted slightly. She pressed her forehead to his and nuzzled into the gentle caress of his nose as he went on. His speech was precise and focused as he showed her how far he’d come since they met.

”I will do the same for you, Sparhawk. You have my love until the day I die, I’ll comfort and provide. I’ll forever be at your side. A partner through the sorrow and joy as I share my life with you. This I promise and vow to you, Sparhawk Kestrelson.” She could hardly get through her words so much emotion built up inside her chest. There was a lump at her throat and she couldn’t stop grinning. Poem squeezed him tighter, still in a happy haze as she tried to grasp hold and make these moments last forever.
