'You didn't, did you? Not really?'

 

Ryshonn grinned. 'As a matter of fact I did.'

 

Gabriella tried to hide a smile. 'What did he do when he found out you were telling the truth about being a Wizard?' She asked.

 

He ran a hand through his hair, messing it up as he tried not to laugh. 'Well he apologized, it was all he could do. He then told me that I was a lot like his youngest son who thinks of every unconventional way to prove himself. We shared a laugh over that.'

 

'So you dangled the oldest Druid by his feet and you didn't get in trouble. Why am I surprised.'

 

'It's because I am so amazing.' He said winking at her.

 

She laughed and shoved his shoulder playfully. 'You're such a weirdo.' 

 

'That's why you love me.' He said taking her hand in his. 

 

Gabriella looked away, blushing hard.

 

Ryshonn turned her face back to his, concerned.

'You do love me? Don't you?' 

 

'Of course I love you. I just....' She said.

 

He searched her eyes. She really thought... 

 

'I love you Gabriella, I have ever since we met.' He said.

He pulled her in and kissed her.
