Adrian stood solemnly as the rest of the party prepared for departure. Most of the details were handled by Lorn and Sybil. A damn good job they did. As always. Even if Adrian wanted to be petty, he wouldn't be able to find a single fault.
It reminded him of Hilde and him back in the days. Their marriage was arranged, so it was quite awkward at first. As two shy newlyweds, they were always trying to please one another, showing only their good sides.
Seeing the two in front of him, Adrian couldn't help but find the familiarities.
The only thing missing was the fucking, but Lorn insisted on being faithful to his woman back there.
'As it should be,' …would've been Adrian's first thought a couple months ago.
