Her smile widened as he murmured softly that she deserved to be happy, not for just a moment in time, but forever happy. Adelayde never imagined living a happy, blissful life and she still thought it was impossible. However, with Laike in her life, supporting her and comforting her in the difficult moments, her life was about to be so much better than before, so much better than it ever could be without him.

His fiery gaze looked upon her, her whole body warming as if his eyes had that affect on her. Wrapped in the Artemieva's grasp, there was no other place in the world Ade would rather be. She hadn't dreamt of her homeland in months or had dreams of her parents visiting her at night. The tawny woman could only dream of the pale agouti man and when she would be with him again. Now with Laike making her home his home, she was happy to stay within his embrace forever. As the night drew on, the couple caught up and erased the miles that had once separated them, growing closer than ever before.
