the one and only

He was thoroughly enjoying spending a quiet moment with his wife, just he and her - no one to bother them, no one to interrupt them. He knew these moments would be even fewer when the children came. It wasn't as if they could pawn the pups off on someone whenever they wanted a moment alone. Theoretically they could, but Maverick didn't like the idea of doing it often. His children ought to be around their mother and father, and though they would be exposed to Seracia, they would be primarily groomed and raised by their parents. It was the way he saw fit.

He'd almost forgotten about her father's death when he'd mentioned seeing her family. There was another reason she should go back. Erani had been kind enough to come and give her the news, why shouldn't she do the same with more jubilant tidings? It seemed the Adravendi family could use a pickup in these saddened times. She agreed with him, as she often did, and the smile grew on his face. I would go with you if I could, but I don't fancy leaving Seracia to its own devices. I could send someone else if you'd like the company, but I imagine you'd want to go it alone. Goodness knows she was a determined and stubborn woman when she set her mind to something. Somehow he knew she'd already planned it in her mind - or was in the process of doing so - and that plan didn't include a bodyguard.

He watched curiously for her reaction to his little joke, wondering if she would grow angry with him or realize he'd only been joking. She leaned quickly, jaws grazing his shoulder with remarkable speed. His lip curled, feigning a snarl momentarily before a chuckle slid from his jaws. Feeling feisty, are we? He smirked, the kind of smirk that was more accustomed to when he'd been only a boy in love with a girl. Some things never changed.
