'Feyre!' Mor called to me from across the hall 'When will you be finished?'
I let out a small groan 'when the world ends' I mutter under my breath.
'What was that Feyre darling?' Rhys strode into the living room of the town house and sat down beside me 'something about the world ending 'cause that won't be happening anytime soon.'
'Why not?' I try to sound curious but I'm too tired for this.
'Because the world doesn't love you enough to end this close to your birthday.'
'You remembered' I say with sarcastic excitement 'wohoo.'
'Don't sound so excited darling' Rhys lifts my chin with one finger 'it'll be great, and you know it.'
'Actually-' I start, I'm soon cut off by Mor yelling down the hall.
'You promised you'd come pick a present for yourself!' Great, she remembered as well.
'Alright, I'm coming' I call back, 'no need to get yourself tied in a knot.'
Rhys chuckled as he picked up the pile of papers from my lap. 'I'll deal with this, you go have fun.'
I gave him a look that said 'don't try me' and he sent a gentle caress down the bond that sent a shiver down my back as I walked out. I shivered again when I stepped out, realizing how cold it was outside I took a step back inside. Mor came down the hall and threw a scarf at me, smiling. I couldn't help but smile with her.
A small breeze picked up as we strolled the streets of Velaris. As Mor pushed a strand of her golden hair back to look through a window I spotted Cassian window shopping on the other side of the street. I tapped Mor on the shoulder 'I'll be right back' I said trying not to draw attention to where my gaze was just a few seconds ago and took off before she could respond. 'Guess who?!' I said in my most masculine voice as I covered Cassian's eyes.
'Hmmm... Gotta be Rhys' he chuckled as he turned around and jumped when he saw who it was. 'Oh, hi' he smiled as he subtly stepped in front of what he was looking at moments before.
'What's that?' I questioned trying to sidestep him.
'Nothing' he said quickly.
'Really?' I asked still trying to get past him. My attempts remained unsuccessful and were cut off when Mor came up behind me, dangling a bag over my shoulder.
'Looks like I didn't need your help Feyre' she acknowledges Cassian with a nod.
I sigh as Mor walks down the path, towards the town house 'thank god that's over' I mutter and Cassian chuckles. As I follow Mor back towards the house I notice Cassian walk inside the shop he was just standing at. I take a backwards glance at the window but whatever Cassian was trying to hide was gone before I could see it.
Sorry the first chapter is so short, I just wanted to see how it went before I commit completely. Three should be an update every week or so. :)
