Marianna’s POV
It was all so… I didn’t even know how to describe it, but he was right. It wasn’t about switching forms. It was all about being one in whatever form I was. It was so simple and so natural, I felt I could do it whenever I wanted. I was whole at last, this was the element I lacked without knowing it. My happiness was sheer and overwhelming.
I realized that I was naked and Arno was holding me firmly in his arms. I couldn't help noticing that he was also naked, at least the parts I could see. My eyes widened.
I should have been scared or ashamed, but I wasn't. It was like I belonged in his arms, just the way we both were at the moment. I can’t compare it to anything I felt in my life, this calm feeling, easing all the uneasiness or awkwardness and warm sense of certainty form
