That night, dinner was going to be served outdoors, and the atmosphere was pleasant, illuminated by small lights decorating the pathways.
Amaris was distracted, admiring the flowers when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
“My Luna, I’m back.”
Amaris immediately stood up and ran to him.
“I missed you so much, my love!”
Kael welcomed her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
“I missed you even more, my Luna.”
As they pulled slightly apart, Kael’s gaze fell on the scratches on Amaris’s arm.
“What happened here?”
Amaris glanced down at her arm and smiled.
“This morning I went horseback riding and fell.”
Kael frowned, clearly concerned.
“How did that happen? You’re a good rider.”
“It seems the horse had only been broken in recently. But don’t worry, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
