Archer remembered Leira now had the dragon tattoo, and couldn't help but wonder about her reaction. He couldn't help but imagine her face lighting up with surprise and amusement.
That's when Archer decided to share the details of the upgrades he made with Sia, and her eyes brightened with approval.
Sia enveloped him in a tight, affectionate embrace, her arms wrapped around him as she whispered in his ear, ''I will be with Father for a while because we are headed to the Summerfield Duchy to help with security. I won't be able to visit here for some time because I can't leave the old man. Please come to see me.''
As he felt the warmth of her loving hug, memories from years past flooded his mind, prompting him to hold her even closer, a gesture that didn't go unnoticed by Sia.
She reciprocated his embrace with a tighter squeeze and spoke once more, "I love you, husband. Ever since our little camping trips, I've loved you."
