And in that moment, despite all the chaos still to come, despite the bond thrumming between them like a loaded weapon, everything felt terrifyingly, beautifully right.
But only for a second.
Because her stomach growled again.
Loudly this time.
Seraphina froze. Then blinked, her cheeks flushing crimson in embarrassment. What a way to ruin the mood.
Rhydian arched a brow, lips twitching with amusement. "Was that… you?"
She scowled. "I told you I was hungry earlier. But someone decided to turn the conversation into an emotionally devastating love confession instead of calling for food."
"Technically," he murmured, brushing his thumb along her cheek, "you asked for the love confession."
"Yeah, but I didn't think it would come with starvation...well, actually...i forgot I was hungry."
He laughed, a low, rough sound that wrapped around her like a warm coat. "Alright love, wait a moment let me call for food."
