Rory:
The week on the island was exactly what we needed. I felt closer to her. I was more relaxed. She looked so happy and content. I wanted to keep her there forever, but Yule was coming and needed to get back. We only had a week to prepare for the festivities. While we were gone, Rian had people start to decorate the castle. Lights were hung on every single branch of all the trees lining the drive and front yard. All the bushes were covered as well.
Nyx eyes were big with amazement. “It's so pretty. I have never seen so many lights before.”
“I usually don't decorate that much. I will keep it simple, but this year I decided to do something different for you. It's not done yet. Just don't expect a fat guy in a red suite or any elfs.” i said, looking over at her in the passenger seat.
