Kate grabbed a fur coat from Vincent and joined Cedric as she led him out the back door. "We can take our time."<br/><br/>She saw Ann close the door. "I would love for you call tomorrow and we go for a sleigh ride to the lake. Bring your ice skates and I will pack a lunch. Look up, my Love. The sky is so clear. There is a full moon and there are missions of stars. We can see the path through the garden. Your love keeps me warm. I think we are both changed this evening. I feel like I could fly. I do not want tonight to end. I have never been jealous or possessive. If another female is around I want to growl a warning you are mine and she should keep her paws off you."<br/><br/>Kate faced him on the cobblestone back drive and held her arms out. "I love you, Cedric. My heart is yours for always and forever." She pointed to the North Star. "I give you star Polaris. The guiding star. May you never lose your way. I never want us to part again. At least not but the distance from the barracks to the manor."<br/><br/>She pressed her lips to his and hugged him tightly.
