Tense Dinner

Lucian and Ave had their first-ever argument after returning to Pendragon that day.

Her suggestions and insistence on having separate chambers when they had been sleeping together was one thing Lucian couldn't take.

At first, he'd thought she was really joking, as he knew how she wouldn't be able to sleep without him at night and would even come to get him in the study when he stayed late sometimes.

She had once told him that sleeping beside him never allowed her to have nightmares or teleport to unwanted and troublesome places. He made sure to always hold her while sleeping after she told him about a time she was somehow teleported to a place like the future, where she could sense it but couldn't see it. That had scared the soul out of him, as he feared something happening and dragging her away from him. She belonged here with him, and though his curse had been broken because he had marked her, he never wanted to lose her again.
