"Samantha, are you in there?" Faren called softly from outside the small makeshift room outside of Maric and Nimue's home.<br/>It was the morning after the couple's wedding, and everyone had thought it best that they left the house to them that night. And probably the rest of the morning as well. That left less places for the guests to sleep however, so Samantha, Talia, and Maric's mother rested in the small shack while Faren slept in a tent with a few others.<br/>"Samantha?" he called again, his voice raising a little louder.<br/>With Maric having his wedding with Nimue, Faren was beginning to realize just how much he cared for his own sweetheart. When she had caught the bouquet yesterday, the young squire's heart leapt in his chest.<br/>Now though, he would need to ask for her hand someday soon. And while he had money from his work with Maric, he still needed to save some more. He was saving most of his finances so that they could buy or build a home together, but there would be little left over from that. There would be no money to buy a ring, stage a wedding, or even to cover the travel cost of those that would be coming to it.<br/>For now, she'd have to just put up with a quiet picnic with him in the forest for breakfast. Faren had already packed some food he prepared himself, a blanket to sit on, and packed it on his already groomed horse.
