"Lord Dorian, you're awake!"
"How are you doing, My Lord?"
"Hah! It's really him! Someone pinch me!"
More and more workers slowly began to form a gradual circle around Dorian, smiles and joy etched on their faces as they spoke over one another.
But none of the joy they had on their faces could rival the look Dorian had on his.
Many of the workers had stopped what they were doing and were now looking toward his location, each more excited than the last.
Then finally, he spotted them. His two wives were at the other end of the field, barely noticing he had already arrived.
At least, not until the split second where their eyes met.
Immediately, as Seraphina saw Dorian, she tapped Ishtar by the shoulder, quickly calling her attention before taking off toward him.
'Wow, Maria was right. They really are here.'
Dorian thought in his mind, feeling a swell of warmth in his chest.
No matter how hard he tried to deviate from the excitement he was feeling, he couldn't.
