"Husband, why do you look so handsome this evening?"
Arthur took a cautious step back, and raised two fingers. "Hey Ellie, how many fingers am I holding up?"
Ellie tilted her head, almost dreamily. "What fingers, Husband? I can only see your face... your scent."
She trembled slightly, as if overwhelmed. "It all feels so good."
Ellie smiled coyly, her gaze lowered. "Should I tell you something, Husband?"
In a blink, she closed the distance and cupped his cheeks. "I love you."
Arthur gave her a sheepish smile. "I love you too, okay?"
She nodded eagerly. "Yes, I love you! I love you! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO, SO, SO, SO MUCH!"
The mana around her surged as she formed a ring of ice, then took his hand. "Let's get married now and leave together forever, okay?"
Arthur inhaled shallowly. "Ellie, your body's burning up," he said, checking her temperature.
Her eyes widened for a second as he gripped the hand holding the ring.
