I'd done it. I'd finally done it.

For weeks, I'd been trying to find the courage to do this. My father had been right, as it turned out. It was better to do it quickly and get it over with. My mother had suggested a candlelight dinner, at least, but I'd thought it to be too ritzy for a creature like Eva.

She'd been raised by the hot river Pyro, in the southern lands of Calliope. She'd been trained to be a princess, and she'd chosen the path of a warrior. Eva had broken many rules to become the best version of herself, and that freedom had come with a cost. It had also brought her into my life, though, much to my shame, I'd been having trouble remembering how the two of us had gotten together in the first place.

Last night's dream had been such a tempestuous affair, it had taken most of the morning for me to realize the kind of unexpected damage it had done. Even so, I didn't let it get to me. The memory gaps were bound to fade away. I'd soon remember the most important moments in my life with Eva. Last night would only be remembered as a peculiar disturbance. Unexplained, at worst.

The moment she'd said yes, I'd become the most fortunate and complete creature in existence. Nothing else mattered, especially not one creepy—and apparently shared—dream. We were together. We were one. And nothing would stand in our way.

Later in the day, after we finally managed to leave the bed, Eva and I summoned my parents into the throne room. We both stood in the middle of the hall, shaking like leaves, surrounded by amber lights and silent sentry guards in their ornate armor. The king and queen had yet to arrive. On top of that, Eva and I had made it earlier than scheduled, leaving us with a few spare minutes to steal kisses from each other in between giggling sessions.

"Do you think they'll be happy?" Eva asked me, one hand slipping around my waist. I leaned down and kissed the side of her neck, my lips brushing over her luscious scales. She felt amazing. Every inch of her. And she sensed everything—in fact, the scaly portions of her skin were much more sensitive, her pulse instantly spiking whenever I kissed her.

"Why wouldn't they be? My mom and dad love you," I replied, raising my head to look into her arresting amber eyes. "My sister is crazy about you. I think the three of them will happily marry you, if I won't."

She laughed, and it was the most wonderful sound my ears had ever been blessed with. "Good. Though I'd rather just marry you and not complicate their lives via polygamy."

"Hah, gorgeous, fierce, whip-smart and with a sense of humor. I really am the fortunate one in this equation."

"And don't you forget it," she shot back, scrunching her nose.

I kissed her, until the sound of a door opening made us pull away from each other.
