The Welcoming Sight

Seraphina stepped outside of the dining hall and was walking across the grand living room when her ears registered the sound of heavy footsteps.

Her gaze immediately darted toward the entrance and she found Arwan stepping inside the building with a huge, bright smile on his lips.

He was so fast that she barely registered as he crossed the room and picked her up in his arms, twirling her around that caused her to scream in shock.

"Arwan, put me down!"

She told him as her world spinned and felt him obeying almost immediately as he let her down on her feet and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer to him.

"Good morning, sweet mate." He greeted her with that charming smile of his that made her smile back at him.

"Good morning." She returned while gazing into his enchanting emerald eyes that were filled with happiness. "You seem extra happy." She pointed out immediately.
