He rose slowly, still holding her hands. She stepped closer. Closer. So close that the boat rocked faintly beneath them.
Then, standing on her toes slightly, she reached up and held his shoulders to steady herself. He instinctively moved his hands to her waist so she wouldn't lose balance.
The anklets chimed softly and then.. she bent her head forward.. slowly.
Her forehead touched his.
The red kumkum on her forehead brushed against his skin, leaving a faint, sacred mark just above his brows.
He froze.
Neither of them moved.
Her eyes were closed and his breath stopped.. the contact was simple. Sacred.
When she finally spoke, her voice was barely above a whisper, but steady.
"If you are my light," she murmured, her forehead still resting against his, "then let me mark you as mine before the world does."
She lowered herself slowly, but didn't move away.
Her eyes searched his.
"You don't need a ring to bind me," she said softly. "And I don't need a ceremony to know what you mean to me."
Her fingers brushed the red mark she had left on him. "This," she smiled faintly, "is my answer. My acceptance."
His fingers tightened unconsciously around her waist.
"I am yours," she whispered. "And you are mine. Not for a moment. But for every day that comes after."
And she slowly moved into his embrace and hugged him, holding him a little tighter than usual, like she never wanted to let go. They stayed there for a while longer, not speaking.
Everything you're about to read is true... but I've never confessed to him in real life. The story ends with a plot twist my real life hasn't caught up to yet.
Happy reading 🩷
