Cassandra and Varian had been living together for quite months.  Both used to live in the castle, but they decided to take a house together to have their own space.
One evening they were getting ready for a party that Queen Rapunzel was going to throw at the castle, to celebrate her 28th birthday.
Varian was wearing an elegant suit and Cassandra was trying to dress in a slightly tight red dress, only with her left hand she couldn't lift the zipper.

"V-Varian" called the woman to her boyfriend.

"Hey Cassie, what is it?"  Varian quickly came to her aid.

"N-nothing.. it's just.."

"Cassie, my love, talk"

Cassandra sighed "My hand hurts, my right hand. T-the burned one. I can't close the zipper" she said in a moan of pain.

Varian sighed too, stood in front of her with his hands resting on her shoulders and softly said "Hey Cassie, look at me" he gently lifted her face so that their eyes could meet "I still don't know what happened eight years ago and if you still don't want to tell me, don't worry, but you know that I am there for you always and forever. Do you understand my love? "

"Thanks Varian. I love you"

"Me too, Cassie. A lot."

The lovers kissed and when Cassandra broke away she started telling Varian everything.  All that happened 8 years ago.  She told him about the big tree, the incantation, and how she hurt her trying to help Rapunzel.
Varian looked at her in surprise, but then hugged her tightly, whispering sweet things to him.

"Well .. can you help me to lift the zipper?"  Cassandra asked with a few tears still in her eyes.  Varian helped her and as a thank you he gave him a kiss.

"Varian.."

"Yes?" the boy asked.

"Am I beautiful to you? Even with this hand so... so horrible? Even with all these scars?"  Cassandra for one of the few times in her life felt vulnerable.

"Cassandra.. but what questions do you ask? Of course you are beautiful. And no matter what others say about you, you are for me and you will always be beautiful"

"Thanks Var, I don't know what I would do without you"

"You don't have to thank me, I have to do it and .." he gently took her injured hand "this hand of yours, those scars of yours are part of you. And I could never stop loving you for these imperfections so perfect. Because you, Cassandra, you are perfect "

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you and I will never stop repeating it"

"Me too Cassie, you don't know how much"

So Varian and Cassandra gave each other a kiss full of love and then ended up in bed and make love before going to Rapunzel's party.
