Elara

Morning came earlier than I wanted.

The house was still quiet when I walked into the kitchen.

Caspian was already there, dressed for work, fastening his watch.

He looked at me and smiled.

"Good morning."

"Morning."

"Ready for our first day?"

"Your first day."

"Our first day in Ravenmere."

I smiled.

"I suppose you're right."

Before he could say anything, Marcus appeared from the hallway.

He looked half asleep.

Caspian checked his watch.

"Marcus."

"What?"

"We're already late."

Marcus yawned

I'm just trying to survive."I laughed.Caspian shook his head."Let's go."He picked up his car keys.I walked them to the door."Good luck."Caspian leaned down and kissed me softly."I'll see you tonight.""I'll be waiting."Marcus made a face."Please don't start this early in the morning."I laughed.Caspian pushed him toward the door."Go."They walked outside.I watched them get into the ca

    ElaraThe house looked nothing like a home yet.Boxes covered the living room. Some were stacked against the walls, while others sat in the middle of the floor, waiting to be opened.I looked around and sighed."We're never finishing this."Marcus dropped onto one of the unopened boxes."Speak for yourself. I'm done."Caspian looked at him."You haven't done anything.""I supervised.""You sat there and complained.""That's part of supervising."I laughed.Caspian shook his head."You know what? I already regret bringing you."Marcus grinned."Too late."He stretched his legs."Besides, I have an announcement."Caspian folded his arms."What now?"Marcus pointed at himself."I'm staying with you two."Caspian stared at him.I blinked."You're what?""My apartment isn't ready yet."Marcus shrugged."So I'll stay here until it is."Caspian gave him a long look."You're not staying in the main house."Marcus frowned."Why not?""Because this is my house."Marcus looked around."Our house

    EleraFinally, the day came.I stood in the middle of our apartment, staring at the last few boxes stacked against the wall.For the first time since Caspian told me about the transfer, Ravenmere no longer felt like an idea.We were actually going.I picked up my handbag."That's it."Caspian looked around the apartment."Everything?""Everything."He smiled."Then we're officially homeless."I laughed."Speak for yourself. I have a fiancé with a new Area Manager salary."He walked toward me."So that's why you agreed to marry me?""Maybe."He slipped an arm around my waist."Gold digger."I smiled."Banker's wife.""Much better."He kissed my forehead before taking my bag.Outside, one of Caspian's friends, Marcus, was already waiting.He was one of the employees transferred to Ravenmere with Caspian."You two took forever."Caspian looked at him."We're bringing our entire lives."Marcus looked at the boxes."Clearly."A few hired workers were already loading the heavier things into

    Elara The last suitcase refused to close.I sat on it with both hands pressed against the lid while Caspian stood at the foot of the bed, watching me with an amused expression."You're enjoying this," I accused."A little.""Then help me.""I've been helping you for the past two hours.""You carried three boxes.""Four.""Three and a half."He laughed.I pushed harder against the suitcase.It finally clicked shut.I lifted my hands triumphantly."Done."Caspian shook his head."You're impossible.""And yet you proposed to me.""Best decision I've ever made."I smiled.He walked over and kissed my forehead before picking up the suitcase."Where does this one go?""By the door."He carried it out.I looked around the bedroom.Almost everything was packed.Clothes.Shoes.Books.Things we'd collected together.It felt strange knowing that in a few days, this place wouldn't be our home anymore.Ravenmere was waiting.A new job for Caspian.A new beginning for both of us.I should have be

    Elara One week after Caspian received his promotion, I stood in front of our bedroom mirror, trying to decide whether my dress was elegant or too much.I turned sideways.Then the other way.Behind me, Caspian was struggling with his cufflinks."You're going to break those.""I've had them for years.""Exactly. And you've been fighting with them for ten minutes."He glanced at me through the mirror."You've been changing your mind about that dress for fifteen.""I have not.""You've changed twice.""Three times."He smiled."Thank you for proving my point."I picked up my perfume and sprayed a little onto my neck.His eyes followed the movement."What?""Nothing.""You're staring.""I like the dress.""You didn't even look at it properly.""I don't need to."He walked toward me and wrapped his arms around my waist.His chin rested on my shoulder."I know what you look like."I smiled at our reflection."And yet you still haven't helped me choose.""Black.""The black one?""The one y

    The movie had been playing for almost forty minutes, but neither of us knew what was happening anymore.Caspian had stopped pretending to watch.His arm was wrapped around my waist, and I was curled against his chest, my head resting beneath his chin.On the television, two strangers were arguing dramatically over something neither of us cared about.I reached for the bowl of popcorn.Caspian caught my hand."You're eating all of it."I looked up at him."Then get another bowl.""You've already had enough.""Enough?"I narrowed my eyes."You've been eating more than me.""That's because I'm bigger.""That's not how popcorn works."He smiled."You always argue.""Because you're always wrong."He leaned down."Keep talking.""Why?""I like your mouth."I laughed."That's a terrible excuse."His lips brushed mine."Wasn't an excuse."I felt his hand tighten gently around my waist.The kiss lasted only a moment before I pulled away."The movie.""You haven't watched it for twenty minutes.
