"Now don't open your eyes yet!" Char checked to make sure that his bride's
eyes were completely shut. "Just a little bit farther..."
A gasp emitted from Ella's mouth. She was suddenly encased in a sea of candles, roses, and heavy red velvets.
"Oh Char! It's amazing!" Ella expressed with stars in her eyes.
"Only the best for my little princess", Char whispered into her ear.
Ella strode across the room to the bed, looking up at the high vaulted ceiling, dazzled by its cathedral image. She sank into the bed, enveloped in silk and velvet linens.
Char joined her at the bedstead, and pulled her up by her arms so that she was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"You must be very tired", he said, slipping her shoes of tenderly.
"More than you know", Ella replied stifling a yawn. Char picked her up in his arms and spun her around twice, then carried her over to the right side of the bed. He gently set her down, so she was halfway upright against the pillows.
He climbed beside her, and rested his head on her chest. Her steady breathing soothed him, and he drifted between sleep and consciousness. His eyes opened once more, and he lifted his head to kiss her, short and sweet. They kissed once more, a bit longer this time. Withdrawing from each other, they gazed at each other for several moments. Then once more they kissed a long passionate kiss. Their hands met, and their fingers intertwined.
On and on they kissed, into the darkness of the night. Away from fear, away from pain, they kissed and loved one another. Finally, their lips departed, and they each in turn whispered, "I love you."
