Faren could not help but reach for Samantha's hand, or place his on her leg as they ate. It almost felt like if he did not have physical evidence she was there, he'd just wake up to find that it was all a dream. If it was though, he would not want to wake.<br/><br/>Nimue seemed almost as happy as the younger couple themselves. Her repeated reaction however was beginning to wear on his nerves though. Maric seemed glad for them as well, but he too was busy being smitten with his wife. There seemed like there was very little time when his eyes were not on her.<br/><br/>However, a rather unexpected guest broke the calm of their dinner. Someone Faren did not expect to see again. Mostly, because he thought he had made it clear that he no longer wanted to be with her.<br/><br/>"Reina!" He exclaimed, unable to move from his seat from shock. "What are you doing here? I thought we..."<br/><br/>His words stuck in his throat however, when she called for a little girl and called him 'daddy'.<br/>A father? Him? This must surely be a misunderstanding. But alas, it was not. The moment he saw the little girl, his doubt was removed. She seemed to be barely five years old, but the resemblance was undeniable. She had the same stark black hair, and stormy green eyes. The little girl stood behind her mother as she looked around the room at all the new people shyly.<br/><br/>Faren looked between his old lover, the child, and Samantha. His fiance's face was distraught, and made his heart ache. His eyes locked with hers, and he silently plead for forgiveness. He never meant for this to happen.
