Chapter 173

"Must you touch me so much?" Amelia asked, swatting away Killian's hand for what felt like the tenth time. He kept reaching out to hold her hand or at times, poke her to rile her up. "Isn't there something you must do today? To get away from bothering me?" 

"No. The only time we have spent together since you arrived is when we prepare for dinner or go to bed. I have planned to spend the rest of the day with you. Until the night of course. I hear your people have the tradition of not letting the bride and groom see each other as it is bad luck. Do you know it is demons who had a hand in that bad luck?" Killian asked.

Weddings made for the perfect playground for demons to have fun. Whether it be revealing a secret child, an affair, or leading the bride to find the groom with her sister, it was always fun.
