Christine X Valerius
__________

The sound of a sweet tune was heard from all throughout the estate that silently whistled with the wind. Through the detailed laces of curtain and glass windows, a room is seen. An infant can be seen held by its mother, and another held by its father.

"Let me be your freedom... let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you. To guard you and to guide you..."

"My Darling" The Consul called out to his singing wife. She paused and cradled the baby as she slowly rocked by to his side. "Yes my Dear?" She asked in reply. He clicked his tongue and looked down. "Do you remember... that night?" He asked smiling. "Why which night are you referring to Dear?" She replied, tilting her head to the side.

Valerius chuckled. "The night of the masquerade of course~" he said. He shifted to her side and with his free arm, he wrapped it around her waist and pulled her close. Christine sighed in satisfaction and looked at their children then smiled. "Of course I do, how could I possibly forget?"
She giggled.

"Oh, that evening was just pure bliss My Darling, every second... every minute of every moment we shared alone. With only the music and the gentle breeze accompanying us." He said as he lowered the baby in his arms.

Christine followed as she lowered the other child. As soon as she did, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the bridge of her nose and chuckled. "Oh my Dear, I highly agree with you. That evening was just absolutely breathtaking, might I add your charming voice? Whispering such soothing love lines into my ear~" she said.

"My Darling do not flatter me that much, you know you were just as exquisite as I was that night. Why, you were as elegant and as beautiful as the Countess herself, if not, you have graced that masquerade exceedingly higher than any lady I have seen~"
He whispered in her ear as he held her closer.

She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck as they both swayed to the gentle wind that entered the room through the window. When all was calm, he lifted her high up in the air and carried her as how you would carry a bride. They laughed in the merriment as he spun her around and landed her softly on the sofa right under the window.

"My Darling, I love you" he said as he held her closer and let her sit on his lap. She smiled as he reached from behind and untied her hair, allowing it to flow. "Valerius~" she giggled, slightly blushing. It's been a long time since her hair was let down. "Pipe down my Dear, the children are asleep" she added.

"Well, aren't you going to tell me you love me back?" He pouted and looked away to attract her attention more. Her lips curled as she leaned forward and gave him a hug, she buried her face in his chest, closing her eyelids. He held her as firm as he could but still remained gentle.

He raised his right hand and lifted her chin as he smiled lovingly to her. The light graced her face beautifully, he took that hand and parted the law hairs away from her face and tucked them behind her ear. She blushed at the gesture, they both missed this feeling of longing.

"Anywhere you go-" she sang.

"Let me go too" he continued.

They held each other and put their foreheads together, closing their eys

"Love me... that's all I ask of-"

They sang together. For a short moment, they opened their eyes and looked into the other's, smiling.

"You..."

Christine pulled his head closer as they closed the gap between them.
