“Oh… ok, guess they are just going for it,” Bell commented, looking away.
Wyatt excused himself, walking around the happy couple, still locked together in their embrace.
“Seems they are in a world of their own,” he said as he moved beside Fiona and Corrine.
“Can’t really blame them,” Fiona sighed, “you remember what it was like on the full moon before you had marked each other, don’t you?”
Wyatt cleared his throat but made no comment.
The kiss continued until Galen began to clap and cheer. Then, Ashleigh and Caleb pulled away in laughter.
“Sorry,” she said quietly with a bashful smile.
“It’s time for us to go anyway,” Axel stated as he stood from his chair. Then, clearing his throat in a much softer voice, he added, “Congratulations.”
He turned to walk away but was prevented by a small hand pulling him back. Axel turned to see Ashleigh staring up at him.
Axel smiled and hugged her tightly.
“I’m glad to see you smiling,” he whispered. “But I still don’t like him.”
