Eliot was putting Caroline to bed after dinner when he caught the faint sound of Olivia sobbing. He rose quietly and went over to where Olivia stood washing up in the kitchen, wrapping his arms around her from behind. She hurriedly tried to brush away her tears.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“What for?”

“It’s all because I’m descended from the Deep Folk that you’ve been burdened with this terrible fate...”

“Is that what’s on your mind?” Eliot felt his anxiety lift. If her tears were out of fear for him, there was nothing to worry about.

“If you’d never met me, you wouldn’t have to spend every day in fear for your life. If I’d never fallen in love with you...”

Olivia trailed off. Eliot replied with conviction, “I am truly glad that I met and fell in love with you.”

“How can you say that? When I can’t even offer you the smallest measure of happiness that ordinary people enjoy.”

“Don’t be silly. The happiness you’ve brought me already is more than enough.”

“I haven’t—oh?!” Olivia exclaimed as Eliot took her in his arms and embraced her tightly. Little by little, he felt the tension drain out of her.

“You have. Back then, when I’d lost everything, even hope itself, your kindness saved me. And now we have Caroline, thanks to you. Maybe you’re right that I can no longer hold out for a peaceful life. But even then, I should still hold myself the happiest of men. So don’t speak of such sad things.”

Olivia turned to him, “Oh, Eliot!” she cried, tears pouring down her cheeks as she buried her face in his chest. He stroked her lush black hair.

“Don’t worry, my love. I’ll keep you and Caroline safe, whether from the Asura or whoever else. I swear I will.”

After a moment, Olivia said, “I know.”

The clouds covering the night sky rolled away, revealing the perfect silver circle of the moon. Eliot and Olivia’s words fell away, and they pressed their lips together. The moonlight filtering in through the window held them both in its soft embrace.
