Chapter 120

• Bridal Bower (part 2)
• [Evander]
• Watching my two loves approaching me with passion and desire takes my breath away. I have lived for over 200 years, and in my life, I have loved and lost my heart many times. But none of those moments can compare to this one. I might be a leprechaun king but I am still a man with a heart that bleeds and breaks as easily as it loves, and if there were ever two people in the world with the power to tear me into pieces and leave me shattered and unable to mend, it would be these two. As much as my heart is overflowing with love, I have never found myself as afraid as I am at this moment. I know that even if they never leave me by choice, the universe could have other plans, and I could find myself dying without their touch, fading into nothing without their love. Today we could have forever, but tomorrow war and pain could tear us apart. Happiness is fleeting, but that is what makes it so valuable.
