Hey guy 'n' gals 'n' aliens. I'm taking a break from my usual series and trying this new story. I'm gonna be very busy for awhile, earning money for Chrissy presents (friends+ me), so be happy with what u got. This is set about five years after First Test, which is the only Protector of the Small book I've read.

Numair put down his book and looked at Daine. She was sitting across the room, looking out the window at the dying sun. "Is something wrong?" He asked softly.
She nodded.
"What?" He asked, crossing the room and putting his hands on her shoulders.
She turned and looked up at him. "Remember Perin?"
"Perin? One of your young admirers, if I remember correctly. Whatever happened to him?"
"His father went to the Yamani islands, and Perin had to go with him. Well, he's back."
"So? Don't tell me he's still interested in you."
"He- he proposed."
"Proposed?!" Numair screeched.
"Yes."
"But- how- what did you say?"
"I didn't know what to say. I just stood there, until he was called away."
Numair stood quietly in thought. Why would someone propose to his Daine? He had, six years ago, but what had she said? If he was good..... well, he'd been good. "Daine, I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you."
"I want to be with you, too."
"Then marry me," he got to his knees, so his was eye level with Daine, "Even if one day you wake up to an old man, or I wake up to a child, we love each other and that's all that matters."
"Oh, Numair!" Daine said as she put her arms around his neck.
"Is that a yes?" He asked.
"Yes!"
