"Her safety for our freedom" Tyril looks at his brother, a silent conversation passing between the two. I take a moment to process what I just heard.

"Zane is willing to set us free if we give her back?" Mal questions, clearly not believing it. Tyril nods.

"It doesn't matter how much of a brute he is, he is a man of his word" Tyril takes a step into the room, his eyes fixed on me.

No.

This can't be happening.

He has spent the last twelve years of his life seeking to avenge his mother's death. He surely can't let it all go so easily, can he? But like Tyril said, he is a man of his word. This can't be a scheme.

All the guilt in the world comes crashing down on my head. He let them go. He let them go because of me.

I raise my head to look him in the eye, tears completely covering mine.

He might have let them go, but I won't. Not in a thousand years.

"Fuck", Thats all he says as he gathers me in his arms, his face tucked completely in my neck

"Fuck", Thats all he says as he gathers me in his arms, his face tucked completely in my neck.

"Hi, baby. I missed you" I whisper softly in his ear. He doesn't let me go for a good five minutes, holding me as close as he possibly can, as if I'd disappear.

He doesn't say as word, but his hands cradle my face, bringing it closer to his. I don't object. Our lips meet in a soft and delicate kiss that lights my veins on fire.

"Did you miss me?" I blink at him. His hands don't let go of my face, and he stares at me as if it's just the two of us in the room.

He nods, but barely. I bring my face close again and lay a kiss on his nose. He let's out a relived sigh.

"Please" His voice sounds so incredibly soft.
"Please, don't ever disappear again" When I meet his eyes, I notice that they're red.

Was he crying?

"So. Are we dating now?" I wiggle my eyebrows at him playfully. He chuckles.
"I've learnt not to question your choices" He touches our noses, and, you guessed it, I whisper 'Boop'.
