They anticipated that the attack would come that night. Or very early in the morning, just before dawn, when the night was darkest. The horde that surrounded them was massive, and last night the last escape route had been compromised. Not that they were planning to run anyway. No. They had decided to fight. Down to the last man. And woman. It was hardly surprising when he found himself in her quarters where she sat resting. If you could call it that. More like counting down the time before night fall, when they would all keep vigil at the outer perimeter. He lamented not coming here sooner. But life had a way of interfering with the important stuff. Until it's too late. Like tonight. He had lost count count how many times he had mustered the courage to tell her about it, only to lose it each time they met. Because she literally took his breath away. Every time. Her eyebrows rose quizzically as he sat down. They exchanged looks, and he poured his heart into his gaze. Her eyes never flinched, deep blue like precious gemstones. Outside, the sun turned yellow, then reddish gold. Finally, she shifted and sighed. "What took you so goddamn long?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi guys, ok this is the last one using this lovely medieval set (for now...and the same armor hehe). What can I say, I'm lazy that way. Anyways, me hopes you enjoys :-) Thanks and stay safe all.
