Evie was all smiles, holding onto Gavrael's hand as they unhurriedly walked towards the terrace where the dark fae King and Queen were having their morning tea. She just could not wait to surprise the King and Queen!
But as they were about to enter through the last door that would lead them to their destination, Gavrael suddenly halted, causing Evie to turn to face him, wondering what the matter was.
Gavrael looked away to avoid directly meeting Evie's eyes. But she did not need to look directly into his eyes to realize that the man was getting a bit tense. She could tell from the way his hand was tightening itself around hers. Evie smiled softly at him and squeezed his hand back in a reassuring manner.
"Gav?" she called out softly and he took a shallow breath before lifting his eyes to meet her gaze. Then she tiptoed and kissed his mouth, catching him by surprise.
