wonderful and amazing.
“Isabella, is that really what you want?” her dad asked.
“You’ll not only be married to a nightmix , you’ll be married to royalty.
You’ll lose the freedom you value so much.”
Her father looked so deathly tired she wanted only to hug
him. But not yet. Not until he knew exactly how she felt. “It is what I
want. More than anything else in the world.” She bit into her bottom lip.
“What’s the good of freedom if I don’t have the man I love to share it with?”
“And if you have children to this…prince?” her father added.
“They’ll have my husband-to-be’s sweet disposition.” She
grinned up at Reuben. “Goddess help the child if it has mine.”
Her father climbed stiffly from the wagon, his gait jerky as
he approached and came to a standstill before them. “Then as much as it pains
me,” he cleared his throat and added, “I consent to this marriage.”
One or two of the villagers cheered—it was a start. She
smiled, amazed and relieved with the outcome. Her father had taken a huge leap
of faith for her, and she couldn’t be more happy and proud.
She stepped into his arms. “Thank you, Daddy.”
He pulled back, the hardness of his face softening a little
in the flickering torches as he stared down at her. “So now what?” he asked.
She turned to Reuben. “When do you have to return to the
palace?”
“When do we have to return to the palace?” he
corrected.
Her smile was wobbly, her stomach fluttery. Everything and
everyone around them faded into the background until it was just Reuben and
herself. “Try keeping me away.”
Reuben’s eyes glimmered. “Try leaving me again.”
Her throat closed, voice coming out in a croak. “Never.”
Reuben’s head lowered, his brow touching hers and his
startlingly red-hued stare seemingly reaching inside her and reading all her
thoughts. “I really do love you.”
Her heart ached, her vision blurring. Right then she was an
open book and she didn’t mind one bit. “And I love you too.”
When they kissed, more cheers broke out behind them before
she and Reuben finally broke apart and stared at each other with big smiles.
“In answer to your question,” Reuben said huskily, “we have
a week.”
Her smile got bigger. “Then I do believe there is a cabin
where we can stay about half a day’s ride away from here.”
Reuben clasped one of her hands and murmured, “I do believe
you’re right.”
