Ariel woke up to see herself in Horace's arms, she felt thrilled; 'he hasn't left yet?' she said to herself, the memory of last night flashed in her mind and she smiled sweetly.
Horace felt her gaze on him and quickly he open his eyes.
"Morning my love," he kiss her lips. "I can't believe you are staring at me!"
"I-- I wasn't staring at you," she lied. "Who-- who said I was staring at you?" She suttered.
"I caught you myself, don't lie," he said while smiling, and she giggled.
"Yes! I was staring at you! You caught me indeed."
"I knew it!" He laughed. "Now tell me, why were you staring at this mate of yours?"
"Because..."she lean closer to his ears and half whispered; "I can't get enough of your handsomeness!"
"My love, are you saying that I am too handsome for you to look away?" He asked teasingly.
"Yes!" She replied truthfully and the both begin to laugh.
