You're too young

Seraphina's POV

I frowned at his response, not appreciating the teasing when I had asked a serious question.

Darius must have noticed the shift in my expression because almost immediately, his smirk faded, and he raised a hand in a small gesture of apology.

"Alright, alright," he said, his voice softer. "I'm sorry for teasing you."

I remained silent, waiting for him to actually answer the question.

He exhaled, running a hand through his dark hair before leaning back against the sofa. "To be honest, I have no issues with marrying you at all—if that's what you were wondering."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, crossing my arms over my chest. "Then why bring up the fact that I'm too young to be thinking about marriage?"

Darius tilted his head slightly, looking genuinely curious now. "Do you not think you're too young to be getting married?"
