You wake up that morning next to the most beautiful man you've ever seen in your life. But you have no memory of ever meeting him. When you look around the room, it's palatial. Where are you?

You try to shuffle out of bed but strong arms wrap around your waist and soft lips graze your neck. His touch feels familiar, but you're sure it's something out of a dream.
     "Good morning, darling," the man says in a deep voice that makes your skin tingle.

"Who are you?"
     He chuckles. "I love your wicked sense of humor." His arms draw you closer.
You give him a hard kick. "Stop that."

     The man draws back and frowns. "What's wrong?"
"What am I doing here?" You look around the beautiful room. "Where am I?"
     "You're my queen. We've been married for a century."

That's when you notice his ears are pointed.

"No, no no. No because I-I'm human and I was...I was just at college, and I fell asleep doing homework...w-what are you and where am I?" You say.
     His eyes soften and he kisses your forehead. "I thought we had broken the curse darling, don't worry we will figure it out."

His voice calms you despite your confusion and you relax, gently sitting up. "Okay, well, can you tell me your name then? If I'm married to such a handsome being then I must have done something right." You give a weak chuckle. Humor is your coping mechanism.

     He smiles brightly. "Still that same beautiful laugh darling. And call my Kyr, you always did."
He gets up and you quickly look at the covers, flushing as he slept with nothing on.
     "Your clothes are laid out already, if you need help just ring the silver bell." He finishes dressing and kisses your forehead, exiting the room.

You let out a long breath and start exploring the lavish room, humming to yourself a song you don't know but yet was stuck in your memory.
