Mirelah;
I stare blankly at Kealith, at a loss for words. I understand him, and his points are very valid, but I never planned on forcing Darven to do anything. Azra is a beautiful young lady, and most men would be happy to have her at their side.

"My dear, may I please have a moment of your time?" He says to me, and my brows crease.
"Now?" I question in bewilderment, and he nods.
