" 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)

"Is she waking up?" Alice says looking at me and i have to shake my head.

I have to shake my head because she isn't awake yet.

She isn't awake yet but I can feel each and every bit of her breathing. I can feel each and every bit of the blood that is coursing through her and she's still alive...

"She'll wake up in a matter of minutes".

She looks relieved as she goes back into the kitchen, practically going to prepare something again and I have to pinch the bridge of my nose.

I have to sigh at this and i pinch bridge of my nose.

Gone are the days when I was alone, gone are the days when I was alone and stupid, now I practically have people around me.

I have people around me who judge my each and every action and I do not mean this in a bad way. I do not mean it in a bad way as for some reason Alice is surprisingly supportive.

She's surprisingly supportive and most of the time they simply look to me for instruction, even Arden, even Arden who behaves like a boss sometimes looks towards me for instruction.

Her character that afternoon was simply surprising to say, it is surprising because I thought she would be the one who was in support of my little plan the most.

I had thought she would be the one who was in support of my little plan the most because she's the one who is practically telling me all the time to be truthful to Aderyn.

She's the one who insists that i tell her the truth, to actually tell her the truth but still I'm sure that if I tell Aderyn the truth she will remain mind boggled.

She would be totally surprised by it as it is not something that should have expected.

That is why I'm currently going through this slow process, that is why I'm currently going to the slow process of making her simply know that everything around her is strange.

I want her to know that everything around her is strange and I want her to come to the conclusion that we are also strange.

I wanted her to point out exactly where our strangeness lies but yet not right now, not right now because I don't think this is the time for her to be making such observations.

The high councillor still has an eye on everyone here, she still has eyes on us all and even though they behave nonchalant, even though they behave like they do not care about what she does or about what we do, everyone is following each other.

Everyone is spying in some way and I do not want to put her in trouble.

I did not want to put Aderyn in permanent danger because if she knows anything, if she knows anything that she's not supposed to know, that is exactly what would put her in permanent danger and I grab her hand as I run a finger over it.

The first time I saw her, the first time I saw her that she was knew special. I knew that she was different. I knew that she was the one, but right now I am scared of her being the one.

Adrian's pov.
