As the Lady took his hand and gazed into his eyes, Indrean felt himself transfixed and in awe of her beauty, and as she leaned into him, he tenderly wrapped his free hand around her shoulders. He found himself stifling the urge to push her hair back behind her ear, or to caress her beautiful cheek. He nearly did it though as she confessed her feelings for him, but he stopped himself as she glanced away from him, her cheeks painted red.<br/><br/>Seeing her tears and hearing the ache in her heart caused him to move; so, he lifted his hand and gently wiped away the tears that had fallen down her cheeks.<br/><br/>"My Lady, I know not what the future will hold for either of us, but I do know this. You have sparked something inside me which has not been alight for many years; I wish to protect you, hold you, and brave the unknown of this world together with you my Lady. If only you will have me."
