Alanna stood, speechless. She knew she loved him more than anything else in the world, but was she ready?
" I understand if you…" Jon whispered. Alanna shushed him.
" Jon, I would love to." Jon looked her in the eye.
" Really?" he asked.
" Really," she replied, smiling. Jon kissed her fiercely until they were both gasping.
" Alanna, I love you so much." Jon said, hugging her close. Alanna was silent, enjoying the moment.
" What was wrong with you the other day?" Jon asked, suddenly serious, gazing into her amethyst eyes.
" I'm not sure. I just felt really ill," she replied, shrugging and leaning back against him. Jon sighed.
" Are you tired, Lady Alanna?" he grinned.
" Very," was the Lioness's reply. Jon swept her up into his arms and carried her back to their rooms.
