The Fall of a Lioness
Lady Alanna of Trebond, Olau, and Pirate's Swoop leaned out over the balcony to her husband and her sleeping chamber as the golden sun rose in the east. She was dressed in her usual day outfit: a loose-fitting white shirt, hunter-green breeches, and brown-leather boots.
The doors behind her creaked. She whirled around to find her husband, George Cooper, smiling at her from the doorframe. His muscular upper body was bare, and his lower body was covered with black breeches. "Hello, my dear."
Alanna smiled at her love. In two strides, she had reached him and wrapped her arms around his waist. They kissed lovingly, and then he lifted her into his arms. She giggled and demanded that he put her down. He did as she asked, and they put their arms around each other's waists to watch the sunrise.
