Casey rose to his feet obediently at the gentle pull on his arm.  What he hadn't been expecting, was the way the woman's hands rose to his cheeks, the way her face grew large in the flickering firelight.  The way her soft lips pressed against his own.  A thrill ran down his spine, and  his pulse spiked.  There was an undeniable attraction to her.  But it was a show, he told himself.  Something to appease the onlookers.  Something to be done in public.<br/><br/>But the whisper of an oath on the tails of the kiss certainly sounded genuine.  "Together,"  He agreed, slipping his hand into the ring-adorned hand of his fiance.  It was becoming real.  As real as anything.

I'll get in touch tomorrow, and we can handle the wedding planning.  Is your apartment far?  Want me to walk you there?  Call a cab?"  Despite himself, his cheeks were rosy.
