As Asher and Rowena exited the Pillar Sanctuary, Asher couldn't help but notice the somber expression on Rowena's face. With a gentle touch, he reached for her hand, asking softly, "Are you still worrying about what the High Seer said?"
Rowena hesitated for a moment, then lifted her eyes to meet his, her voice tinged with concern. "Yes, I'm worried about the future. I already have so much on my mind, and now this... I just don't know what to expect."
Asher chuckled softly, squeezing her hand reassuringly. "Don't take these things too seriously," he advised, "Even if you want to, remember that the High Seer said the future is in our hands. Everything will be alright as long as we're together and strong."
He then gently wrapped his arms around her from behind, a tender embrace that caught her off guard, "What you should be worrying about," he whispered playfully, "is that three years is a long time away for our Sacred Union."
