"Here." She patted the space beside her. “Clie with me. Please." "I still have work to finish in the study. You need your sleep." "You can finish tomorrow." Her other hand moved to rest lightly on her stomach, where their unborn child stirred. "Tonight, clie with me. With us. Our little one is restless, and he needs his father." Vladya's fierce protectiveness flared in his eyes. She saw his resistance crumble, and without another word, he stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

"Oh, Vladya..." she breathed, her heart aching with tenderness as she nestled back against him, closing her eyes.
"She turned out to be the greatest bird. A gentle dove who opened her wings wide and let this staggering, ragged creature find refuge. In her shelter, he held on, grew new wings, and learned to soar."
She had never realized how deep that endearment ran. And now, she m longed to hear more of it. "Say it again," she whispered.
"My bird," his tone was soft. "My special soaring dove, with the strong wings of an albatross." Aekeira's heart swelled so large it felt too big for her body. "I love you so much."
