“No. And it might be hard. But we’ll get through it, like we’ve gotten through the rest of it.”
I nodded.
“Eat. Enjoy being with our friends. We’ve got a big couple of days coming up. Filled with fun things. I can’t wait.” He ran his finger down my cheek.
“Me too.”
“I love you,” he said through our bond.
“I love you, too.”
Dastien’s eyes widened for a second before his dimples showed up. He pressed a kiss to my forehead.
The future was never certain. I knew how quickly life could change, but with Dastien by my side, I somehow believed that everything would be okay. I couldn’t predict what was going to happen at the Tribunal, but for the first time, I felt secure in who I was. Not only in who I was, but in who I was with Dastien.
Maybe it was just as easy as Rosa said. If you believed it to be true, it would be.
I grasped Dastien’s hand in mine, and felt the love through our bond. All in all, it was a pretty great day.
