“I love you, Ayden,” I said.

I could feel his breath catch in his chest as he tightened his arms around me.

“I love you too, Rigel. To the shadows of the moon and back.”

I smiled, the wisps of shadows in the recess of my mind swirling with the light magic like an intimate dance between lovers.

“To the shadows and back,” I agreed.
