Bound By Destiny (book 1)

Chapter 59

As Selene and Geralt once more walked out of the school the two soon turned and headed towards the garden that was grown for Selene. "So, any new flowers you've been wanting to add?" Selene looked over at Geralt and faintly smiled. "Nah, not that I can think of." He chuckled as he walked to the gate and opened it for her.

   "After you." Selene rolled her eyes but he could see the smile forming as she bit her lower lip. The two walked into the garden and looked around each taking in the simplicity it brought. "Blue roses hm?" She slowly nodded. "Yeah, I asked Vesemir how they got here but he didn't have a reply, neither did Eskel, Lambert or Letho.."

    He walked up behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You asked everyone?" Selene weakly nodded before she turned to him. "Well almost everyone." He nodded but didn't speak. "Are you the reason I have blue roses in this garden."
Geralt didn't speak at first and Selene almost swore she was wrong until he gave
Her a gentle smile.

    "Yes, I remember that time in the abandon estate. Outside near the fountain, blue roses grew there. So I took two and some seeds, brought them back the one year you weren't here." She raised an eyebrow before she smiled and kissed his cheek. "I remember that. They were lovely flowers. So that's why the last time I was here Vesemir wouldn't let me in claiming the gardens were being fixed."

    He laughed. "Exactly. But also my way of apologizing to you." She simply smiled at this. "Thank you." He nodded and held out his hand. "Shall we go on that walk now?" Selene smiled as she took his hand. "Sure, maybe we can get something to eat that isn't venison."

    As soon as he heard that he laughed. "We could always fish you know." She laughed softly. "what you mean throw a bomb into a lake and get whatever dies?" "Exactly." She rolled her eyes but couldn't quite hide her smile so he took that as a yes and led her out of the gardens and towards the main gate.

    The two simply held hands as they continued to walk and easily passed through the main gate. As they walked Selene couldn't Help but look around and soon found herself thinking about how they could start fixing up the school. "You know, we could probably start repairing the damaged tower...or the wall."
  
    Geralt looked at her and chuckled. "Vesemir is already on that. While he's teaching Ciri. However we could restore the bastion." Selene tilted her head as she thought about it. "That's true, but we can work on it later, let's go see if we can't get some fish for dinner. I'm sick of venison." Geralt couldn't help but laugh as he led Selene down to the lake where he knew they kept their stuff for fishing. Or in this case he had a few trusty bombs that would do the trick nicely.

     "Whatever you want Sel." Said woman raised an eyebrow and held back her giggles as walked with him down to the lake. Neither one in any rush, as for once in their life they were finally safe.
