Chapter 49 : Falling Into Place

*Vanessa*

It’s dusk by the time Aaron and Amara finish their date and make their way back to Ashborne.

Having already started working on the crafting of the mating token, I decided to sit just outside and wait for them to get back. I don’t want to fling myself at them and bombard them with questions, knowing how important it is for them to spend as much time just enjoying each other as possible, but I can’t help the surge of curiosity and excitement I feel. I’m dying to know how everything went.

One good sign though, is what happens when I first spot them.

They’re walking together, close enough for their arms to brush as they walk, and from what I can see of their body language, they move with a sort of relaxed demeanor that can only happen when things have been going well.
