Time passed….it was like time had stopped just for this moment. Ariana just stared at them, her eyes locking on Zavren whose gaze was fixed on her gently, her heartbeat raced and yet no words left her lips; there was nothing she could form. It was like her heart was brought back to light.
Her heart had been dimly lit , which had been lit because of her hope for a daughter, was now brightly lit because of her husband. She just stared with mixed feeling; she could not even put what was in her heart into words. Had she been so tired she was now seeing and hearing things?
Little Vreni, curious by her mother's silence, stared at her father, then back at her mother.
"Momma," she spoke softly as she stared at her mother.
Ariana's gaze slowly shifted from Zavren's calm grey ones before she rested it on her daughter, whose face now looked worried. She could not blame her—Ariana had been still for minutes, and it was normal for her daughter to be worried.
