Ralph dragged his legs wearily as he made his way up the stairs, struggling to keep pace with Theovin.
As they approached the door, Theovin reached for the handle, but before he could grasp it, the door slowly creaked open.
As the door opened, a woman appeared in front of them.
She looked like she was in her early thirties, with piercing forest green eyes that sparkled in the dim light.
Her heart-shaped jawline accentuated her pearly white teeth that were on full display with her bright smile.
The woman was Theresa, and she greeted Theovin with respect by placing her left hand over her right breast before addressing him. "Theo, you're back.
Where have you two been?" she asked politely, her motherly smile never leaving her features.
"We were out for a bit, but now we're back." Theovin muttered, trying to sound polite even though he was anxious to carry his mate inside.
