Evening drew closer, and the more the sun dipped over the horizon, the more Simon realized that it had become inevitable, Lucian was really getting married tonight, and there was nothing he could do about it.
He had already packed his bags, and the only thing keeping him was Lucian. He had no idea why he was waiting for the prince, but for some reason he believed that Lucian would come to pay him a visit, even if it was one last time.
However, after an hour of waiting, he finally gave up. He had nowhere to go at the moment, and leaving after dusk was equivalent to putting his life in danger. He made for the door, his heart heavy with regret and hurt. However, as he pulled on the door knob, he met face to face with a Lucian who immediately embraced his lips with a kiss.
Simon acted swiftly, closing and locking the door before anyone had the chance to spot them.
