Forever and Always

Sparhawk uttered those final words to complete their small sudden ceremony. Poem vowed though, and the pair of them were married. One in the same, two parts of a whole. The beginning of a new promise and a new day. Her husband looked into her eyes and claimed his first kiss and Poem eagerly relaxed and returned his affection. She didn’t want to stop kissing him again. He pulled back once more and reminded her that they still had reality to think about.

The young woman giggled softly and stole one more kiss before returning to her basket and revealing the contents. ”Dried flowers, apples, and some dried rabbit. I couldn’t let my husband go hungry.” She told him with a smile. ”You should have known I couldn’t stay away though.” Poem teased him, still in awe that she was standing here with her husband.

He hinted at future, for what waited them when they returned to Abaven and more importantly further into the night. Poem’s eyes widened and flickered with an innocent glow as she blushed a bit more heavily at the look in his eye and the words on his lips. Excitement built in her belly and she realized just how much she wanted to be touching him. She didn’t want to let go and she didn’t want to move away. ”I did say I couldn’t let my husband go hungry.” Poem returned breathlessly, suddenly hardly able to expand her lungs at the tingling nerves that rushed over her skin and through her body.
