"Ardenia... I'm so happy." "Because of me?" She gazed at him, saw how bloodshot his eyes were, and gently cupped his face with her hands. Halden looked at her as if he had forgotten how to breathe.

He'd only ever been with her, and she was the only one full of mischievous ideas. If she didn't teach him, he wouldn't magically know. "Well, now you do." Her grin grew sharper.
