" How about we help each other?" He says and I look up at him, eyes still wet from the tears streaming down my cheeks, heart freshly broken from the public humiliation and betrayal that was Lucas's breakup. I can faintly make out the first droppings of snow floating magically under the light of the street lamps. It's that time of the year, a time for wool coats, a time for relaxing, none of which I'll be doing. "I'm an orphan with a wicked aunt and a boyfriend who left her because she has nothing to her name, how could I possibly help you?" I say another sob escaping my lips. "Marry me" he replies and my eyes widen in anger. Is he mocking me?. I look into the eyes of this stranger and see he's dead serious. "I need a wife, you need a home, marry me and you'll have all you want". I nod.

A Snowy Marriage (A Christmas agreement)

A gasp is what breaks my concentration, a squeal from someone in the cloud as I practically here the clang of metal-on-metal.

I flash my eyes to the fighting ground to see that the fight has begun, it has begun in earnest and I cannot tell you exactly how surprised I am.

Okay, I have to stop using that word because I am practically telling you everything that is happening but still it is almost too hard for me to describe.

It is almost too fascinating for me to describe, it is now I know why Alice had all that confidence in Adrian and why she does.

I know why she has enough confidence in him.

He fights like water, he fights like water, he fights like he's dancing, and for the most part of it this guy is surprised.

Pale guy has a really surprised look on his face and I have to admit this, Adrian never looked like the sort of person who would be fighting elegantly to me.

Well he isn't isn't fighting elegantly, he is fighting expertly, he is also holding twin blades, twin blades which I have never seen before but yet i practically look at with admiration.

They are simple blades, no extra additions like the barbs or the whips, but still they are deadly in their own way.

They are deadly in the way that they simply fly in the air, blocking each and every attack that comes thier way. I'm practically going to clean these blades myself because I am in love with them.

I am in love with how they work so efficiently in protecting Adrian for me. He is blocking each and every strike that comes his way, he is expertly blocking it and is sending another one almost immediately.

For the better part of the five minutes I have been watching them, I would just like to say, they are evenly matched. They are evenly matched and so no one is able to get an upper hand on the other one.

There is a scowl on Pale guy's face but Adrian's smile is still on his face, his smile is still on his face and I doubt he is going to put it out anytime soon.

He is smiling as broadly as he can and I am in love with that smile on his face. I'm guessing that it's just the fight that is highlighting my emotions like this, but still I am in love with that smile that is on his face.

That smile makes me feel okay, it makes me feel like everything is going to be alright and I love the smile.

I'm thinking of the smiling this way because it is something that i would have wanted to do for myself.

It makes me have enough confidence in him, enough confidence for me to smile and practically cheer him from the sidelines here.

Alice is looking at me with a manic grin on her face trying to hide the nervous look that is still there.
