She came to the wedding because she had to but not because she wanted to. *Neither of them knew it yet, but this was the day life as they knew it would be shattered.* "Mate" The word was suddenly there in Sheik's head, throbbing along to the beat of her heart.

"Despite how I might act or treat other woman, you will always be my love. You are special to me, and I love you so much." At that she broke, her tears spilling from her eyes onto his shirt. The shaking increased and he held her. Once it settled, he pulled away and held her tear stain face in his hands, wiping away the salty liquid with his thumbs. "You are so beautiful." and with that he kissed her lips, she kissed back, and believed what he had told her.
