As Neon and Rose continued their conversation, they delved into the quirks and personalities of their respective husbands.

You know neon , rose said, shaking her head fondly. "Rowan always so focused on his duties as king that he forgets to take a break and spend time with me."

Neon nodded sympathetically. "It's like they're married to their kingdoms as much as they are to us," she mused, sharing a knowing look with Rose.

Rose laughed, her eyes twinkling with amusement. "Tell me about it! Sometimes I have to remind Rowan that I'm his queen too, not just his advisor," she quipped, earning a giggle from Neon.

You know, sometimes I think Dorian forgets he's a king and not just a doting husband he acts like a puppy always following me and protecting me like i am a child ," Neon remarked with a playful grin.
But despite Dorian's playful demeanor around me, he's actually a very serious man," Neon confessed,  "He doesn't have any other friends besides my brother Rowan."

Rose raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really? I wouldn't have guessed that, he seem very outgoing and playful," she remarked, her curiosity piqued.

Neon nodded, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Oh yes. He's all business when it comes to ruling Snowvale. But when he's with me or Skye, he's like a big kid," she explained, her affection for her husband evident in her words.

Rose couldn't help but smile at the thought of Dorian's playful side. "It sounds like you bring out the best in him," she remarked warmly.

Neon's smile widened. "I'd like to think so," she replied, her heart swelling with love for her husband. "

As Dorian and Rowan observed their wives getting along famously, they couldn't help but join the conversation, their smiles brightening the room.

Dorian sauntered over to Neon with a playful twinkle in his eyes. "Well, well, well, looks like my lovely wife is making new friends," he teased, wrapping an arm around her waist. "I hope you're not sharing all my embarrassing secrets, darling."

Neon chuckled and playfully nudged him. "Don't worry, dear husband. Your secrets are safe with me," she replied, shooting him a knowing look.

Dorian leaned in closer to Neon, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You know, my love, you look positively radiant when you're getting along with others," he murmured, his tone laced with affection.

Neon blushed, feeling a warmth spread through her at Dorian's words. "Flatterer," she teased, leaning into his touch.

Rowan and Rose exchanged amused glances as they watched the playful banter between Dorian and Neon. "Seems like Neon and Dorian make quite the pair," Rowan remarked with a grin.

Rose nodded in agreement. "They certainly do. It's like watching two mischievous lovebirds," she added, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

Dorian flashed a charming smile at Neon. "Well, what can I say? We make quite the team, don't we, my love?" he said, leaning in to steal a quick kiss from her lips.

Neon laughed and returned the kiss,  her heart swelling with love for her playful husband. "Indeed we do, Dorian. she replied, feeling grateful for the bond they shared. It was like she got used to Dorian flirting In front of rowan
