Chapter 13 Sick-love Teenagers

• For the next couple of days, Derek and Nora didn't stop mooning around, like sick-love teenagers, and they were all over each other, going to functions together, and making love every single night. The news of their burning desire for each other began to spread around the castle, and even in the kingdom. Unlike before, when Derek saw being married to her as a chore, now he feels like spending forever with her.
• One night after they returned from one of the occasions they were invited to, they decided to take a stroll, just the two of them, holding hands.
• Outside, the night was cool. It swallowed them up. There was no moon and only a handful of stars. But the very darkness was strangely soothing and afforded an illustration of protection and anonymity.
