“It's not that I don't want to tell you important things… It's not that I don't believe you… I just…”

Heath spoke slowly. He wanted to arrange his own words well. He thought hard, trying to dig inside his own heart and express how he really felt to Miriam.

Because he didn't want any misunderstanding between them.

"I just don't want to burden you with too much trouble."

Heath spoke in a deep voice. In his eyes, Miriam was a very innocent young girl. He turned 21 this year, while Miriam will turn 19 in a few months.

They were a very young couple and had no experience in romance. They were the first for each other.

Heath felt Miriam's life had been very difficult up until now. She lived a nomadic life and was often separated from her extended family. She was chased by the mages and humans who wanted to hunt them down and lost her father because of the same reason.
