The thought of coming home to his wife made him smile as he stepped inside the room.

Even though she didn't love him yet, he'd wait for the day she'd fall in love with him and return his feelings, Hamon thought as walked inside his room.

A smile drew on his face as he recalled how Ara had slipped away from his hold in the training hall with her face all pink.
