Caspar walked down the staircase but paused as he saw his new bride Charis Black and himself staring and smiling happily in the portrait , she looked breathtaking... her black hair in a French bun and her grey eyes seemed to glow. It was crazy to think that he had been so nervous about marrying her...
Caspar ran a hand through his hair, he knew that he shouldn't be nervous but he couldn't help it, maybe his parents and friends were right. Maybe they had rushed into things, maybe they should have went slower and waited another year to get married.
Caspar let out a deep breath and closed his eyes, breathing more easily.
"Caspar?" A familiar voice called, causing him to flinch and open his eyes. He proceeded to turn around and saw Charis' sister Callidora Black.
"What in Merlin's name are you doing out here?" She asked, her eyes narrowing.
"It's nothing Callie, go back inside. I'll be inside shortly." Caspar told her.
"Why do I get the feeling that's not true? Don't tell me that you're thinking of leaving my sister at the altar, just think of the scandal our family will endure!"
Caspar grimaced and shook his head. "Nothing matters but the family name to you, does it?" he asked bitingly.
"Of course not, I care very deeply for my sisters." Callidora replied as she walked over to him.
"You have a funny way of showing it." Caspar responded with an eyebrow raised.
"This isn't about me, it's about you and your current feelings about my sister." Callidora said.
"I love your sister, I love her with every fiber of my being, but... I think we may have moved too quickly into this." Caspar admittedly softly.
Caspar let out a yelp as Callidora slapped him on the head.
"What the hell!" Caspar cried out.
"You deserve that for being a complete and utter idiot." Callidora told him with a glare.
"I don't like you..." Callidora trailed off when Caspar spoke.
"Yeah, I've realized that."
"Don't interrupt me!" Callidora snapped.
"Sorry." Casper replied.
"Anyway, as I was saying I don't like you, but I've tolerated you because for some strange reason that I don't see my sister loves you, and as much as I hate to say it you make her happy. She would do anything for you just like I know that deep down you would do anything for her."
"Again, as much as I hate to say it you two seem perfect together, so you getting cold feet and thinking that you should leave her behind is foolish thinking, I've always thought that you were weird, mysterious and not very smart but I never thought that you would be foolish enough to leave my sister." Callidora finished.
"You're right, that would be the most idiotic thing if I left your sister, I love her and she loves me. I want a life with her." Caspar said with a grin.
"Then what are you waiting for? Get in there!" Callidora replied.
Caspar grinned and ran his hand on the photo, he was happy that Callidora had talked some sense into him.
