@WickAdelina enjoyed her time next to the fire with Orren, eating pie, laughing, and reading. She couldn't really remember the last time she had smiled this much. Back at home, she had been constantly worrying about her father and Ciel so she hardly had time to enjoy herself. Before she knew it, time had flown by and they had finished the rest of the book. She smiled and set it next to her on the couch and when she returned her focus back to Orren, she found he had left his spot on the floor and took a seat next to her on the couch. He looked unsure and there was clearly something on his mind. As she about to open her mouth to reassure him he could tell her anything, he spoke up. Adelina tilted her head slightly as he asked something of her and when she was about to answer him, she drew up short when he held up his hand to halt her. She waited patiently for him to finish and rubbed at her arms while he spoke; having not noticed until now that the fire had been dying out.
But it seemed Orren had caught onto that as well and she jumped in slight surprise when he directed his hand at the fireplace and shot
fire to ignite the wood. She blinked. Well, that was new. She returned her attention to him as he picked up her hand and gently pressed a kiss to the back of her hand; causing a small blush to spread across her cheeks. With the same hand that he held loosely in his, she gently cupped his cheek and lifted his head up until he could meet her eyes; giving him a gentle smile as she spoke.
"I promise, I will dance with you every night and more if you wish. I enjoy your company and I will not mind. I wish you would not hide from my family but I know you are sensitive about your appearance and I will respect that but I want you to know that no matter what happens, nothing and no one would be able to take me away."
