Not about what the future holds, not expectations, just stolen pieces of time between two people learning to be together again.
At one point, Elena stood at the edge of the lake, skipping stones across the water with more skill than Liam anticipated.
“You’ve been practicing,” he teased from behind her.
She shot him a smirk over her shoulder “Some of us like to prepare before we’re challenged.”
He stepped up beside her, picking up a stone and tossing it half-heartedly—it sunk on the first splash.
“Right,” she said dryly “Clearly my future husband is not infallible.”
“Only where you’re concerned,” he murmured, voice dipping low.
She glanced up at him sharply, caught off guard by the quiet sincerity

She smiled, eyes damp with emotion “Thank you… for understanding.”“I don’t just understand, I admire you for it” he said, softly “So tell me Elle what is your condition to accept my marriage proposal. I just want to complete this task fastly and make you mine forever…”Elena laughed softly, her forehead still resting against his, the sound warm and low in the quiet glade “You’re really not one for subtlety, are you?” she teased, brushing her thumb over his cheek.“Not when it comes to you,” Liam replied without missing a beat “I’ve waited long enough. I want to marry you, Elena. I want a future where you are always beside me, waking up in my arms every morning, dragging me into trouble by afternoon, and reminding me who I am by night.”She looked at him then—really looked at him, not just the person she’d fallen for but the man he was becom

The next day morning…The first light of dawn filtered through the pale silk curtains in Elena’s room, casting soft gold across the polished floor. Birds chirped faintly outside the palace walls, and the world was just beginning to stir when a soft knock echoed at her door.Elena, still curled in bed, blinked groggily “Come in,” she called, her voice slightly husky from sleep.The door creaked open—and there stood Liam, freshly dressed in a slate-gray tunic with navy accents, his hair slightly tousled by the morning breeze, and an unmistakable sparkle in his eyes.Elena sat up, narrowing her eyes suspiciously “You’re up early.”He grinned “You say that like it’s a crime.”She rubbed her eyes, already sensing something “What are you doing here?”“I’m stealing you,” he said, holding up a small basket and a folded cloak.Elena blinked

As the image of Edward finally vanished, a hush fell over the room. Elena stood still for a beat, then slowly turned to face the others.Alisha expressed her gratitude for the happiness she gave her today “You didn’t just give a gift, Elena. You gave me something I never thought I’d have again.” Alisha stepped forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Elena. Her voice low but sincere “No one has ever done something like this for me. Ever. Thank you so much.”Elena returned the embrace, her voice soft “You’re my sister now. That means everything to me.”Elizabeth eyes still glistened, but her expression was composed “Thank you, Elena,” she said.Henry remained silent, but he gave Elena a single, quiet nod—one that held the weight of both acknowledgement and pride.After the heartfelt moment Elizabeth asked impending important question to Elena “Why did you not tell Edward

The screen flickered for a few seconds and then Edward’s figure came into view.Alisha gasped, her hands flying to her mouth “Father…?”Edward’s eyes filled with tears the instant he saw her. His voice, hoarse but unmistakably his came through the screen.“Alisha… my dear…”Elizabeth’s hands trembled, her composure slipping as she got up from her place and went closer to the screen. Daniel also sat frozen in his place staring at the screen.Alina, wide-eyed, whispered, “Papa…?”Edward smiled—weakly, but real “Alina, my little one…” he breathed, “You’ve grown so much…”Tears streamed silently down Elizabeth’s cheeks “Edward,” she whispered. “You’re awake…”Elena stood silently behind them all, her expression unreadable—but her hand found Liam’s,

From beside Alisha, Daniel—who had been listening to this exchange with a silent frown and the sharp-eyed attention of a seasoned protector—finally stepped forward, his arms crossed “You’re going to need more than charm and declarations if you want my sister’s hand,” he said coolly, eyes locked on Liam “It’s not just her heart and approval you will need to tie the knot.”Liam met Daniel’s eyes, steady and calm “I understand, I wouldn’t expect anything less” he said with quiet respect “She deserves nothing less.”Daniel held his gaze for a beat, then gave a faint nod, not entirely approving—but not disapproving either.Louis, watching the tension with a grin tugging at his lips, clapped a dramatic hand on Daniel’s shoulder, feigning sympathy “It’s hard on you, brother,” he said in mock solemnity, “Truly… I pity you.
