"Can I ask you a few questions?" Claudia asked as she sat down on the couch, mug of tea in her hand.
"Sure." Esmee replied. "What's up?"
"Is being married everything you dreamed it would be?" Claudia asked. Esmee took a sip of her own tea.
"I can't say for certain, as I have only been married a week. But, I have enjoyed every moment of it." She replied after a moment of deep thought. "Why do you ask?"
"I just wanted to know about your perspective." Claudia replied. "Does it scare you, knowing that we might not be the ones in control of our own destiny?"
"We will always have some control over our lives." Esmee replied. "Whether it will be a lot, I don't know. But yes, it does scare me. Life scares me. But the scary moments are frequently followed up by the best moments of our lives."
I wish I knew, Savannah thought as Killian paraded around her.
"What makes you so important to him?" He asked again.
