Later I sat on the couch, looking at the ceiling. I had the window in the cold night air filled the stuffy air. Everyone was asleep, tomorrow we would see the council, The anxiety was over baring. How could I speak to the most powerful men in the world,  what would they do to henry when they found out he had Forbidden blood inside of him. Would they kill him? lock him in prison? torture him? the questions were boggling my mine, as my heart beat faster.

''Valerie'' a voice came from behind the couch. he was leaning against the couch, his arms crossed against his bare chest. His curly hair swept back, shining against the moonlight. ''Henry'' I said flatly, unable to say anything else. ''I guess you can't sleep either'' he said staring out the window, his gaze somewhere else. ''no'' I sat up, clutching my knees to my chest. ''Valerie before anything happens tomorrow, if something happens to me I juts...'' he trailed off, he was struggling with words. I patted the cushion beside me, feeling the soft silky fabric. He came around sitting down, one leg up with his arm balanced.

''what do you want me to know?'' I asked his foot was barley touching mine. I wanted to leap into his arms, and clutch his arms entirely. ''I want to you to know that I love you'' he said staring at me with them dang green eyes. '' I know it's silly but Valerie when I'm around you, I feel as if the world is just you and me, no one else'' he scooted closer. ''you are the only person to ever make me feel like that, and I don't wan to hurt you in any way, Valerie I-'' I put a finger to his soft lips, telling him to be quiet.

I sat in his lap, my body fit so perfectly in his, I could feel his heartbeat against my spine. he leaned in, his lips brushing mine, soft and gentle. I turned, to wear I could wrap my arms around him. I could feel his lips part as we kissed. When we stopped we stared at each other, his greens eyes shimmered against the moonlight. he tucked my hair behind my ear, then traced my cheekbones with his soft hands. I put my hand on his cheek, warm against my palm. he put his hand on top of mine keeping my hand there. I leaned back my ear to his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and him breathing lightly. I closed my eyes letting me leave into sleep with me in his arms.
