Elain's heart was beating so hard she was surprised Azriel didn't hear it. She led him into a quiet hallway. She had decided to tell him tonight. She wanted to come earlier. But she couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Azriel," she whispered, "I, I love you." Silence whispered in her ear. Azriel wasn't moving. He just stared.
"I wanted to tell you for so long now. I can't imagine losing you before I told you this." Elain didn't realize she was crying until she tasted salty tears. More of that whispering silence. But then Azriel moved. He took her face in his hands and whispered: "I have loved you since the day in the garden." And then his lips were on hers. Tasting her. It was soft but passionate. Elain felt like she was falling. And Azriel was falling with her. The world disappeared and Azriel licked away her tears she kissed the corner of his mouth. His hands, his beautiful hands slid to her back but didn't go further. As if asking permission... and she gave it to him. She buried her fingers in his hair stroking it. This is what she had wanted for a long time. This. Azriel right there kissing her. So Elain finally lived out her dream.

This is a shorter chapter but I just really wanted to right this scene. This was also from Elain's point of view. Any way I hope you guys liked it. I'm going to start writing from different POVs just to keep it interesting. Comment on who's you would like to hear next. :)
