Ghastly POV

Ghastly woke. He glanced down to see Tanith sleeping peacefully, her arm across his broad torso. He couldn't help but smile. He climbed out of bed, carefully laying Tanith back down, trying not to wake her. He pulled the duvet softly over her and brushed her tousled hair away from her face. Ghastly gently kissed her forehead and left the room. He showered quickly and pulled on a pair of tailored trousers and a crisp white shirt. He left the bathroom and went into the kitchen. He cooked breakfast and left it on a plate for Tanith, leaving a flower in a glass vase next to it. Ghastly hated the fact that he had to leave Tanith on such a beautiful morning, but he knew he had elder business to attend to. He checked the clock. 06:30. He didn't have to be at the sanctuary until 07:00. He walked back upstairs and slowly pushed open his bedroom door. He tilted his head and smiled. Tanith was still sleeping. She looked so beautiful, so peaceful. Ghastly found that no matter how hard he tried, his smile would just not leave his scarred face.

Ghastly left not long after 06:50, leaving just enough time to be at the sanctuary on time. He found himself smiling all the way there, and knew he'd have to lose it before entering the sanctuary, or else Erskine would realise something had happened. Ghastly hardly ever smiled, but just being with Tanith, he couldn't do anything other than smile. She was the one he loved. She was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life. She was the one.

Tanith POV

Tanith woke. She stretched out, expecting to feel Ghastly's scarred chest on her skin. But she didn't. She sat up and realised she was in his bed alone. She brushed a hand through her hair and looked down at herself. There was nothing but her fresh skin looking back at her, and she grinned. Tanith swung herself from Ghastly's bed, and snatched up his shirt that he'd left on the floor from the night before. She pulled it on and she could then really appreciate how muscular Ghastly was. It draped off her. She didn't mind and pulled it around her tighter, leaving the room. She walked downstairs and into the kitchen, where she saw the plate of food and the flower in the vase. She picked up the flower daintily, and smiled. There was also a note beside the plate. Tanith picked it up and read it.

Miss Low. I'm sorry I had to leave, but the sanctuary was calling, as always. Enjoy breakfast, and enjoy your day. Ghastly.

She grinned, and left the room, walking into the main shop as someone knocked at the door. It was Valkyrie. Completely forgetting that all she was wearing was Ghastly's shirt, Tanith opened the door and she beamed. Ghastly's shirt may have draped over her, but it didn't fall much lower than her waist, and didn't cover up too much of her body either. Valkyrie stared at her.

Tanith frowned. "What?" she looked down at herself and realised she was only wearing Ghastly's shirt. She looked back up at Valkyrie and smile innocently, biting her lip.

"Oh, yeah." she said. Valkyrie still stared at her.

"Oh come on, Val." Tanith began. "It's not like I'm half naked or anything."

"But you are half naked, Tanith. And, might I add, in Ghastly's shirt, which, might I also add, he was wearing last night." Tanith smiled sheepishly. "Oh, my god." Valkyrie's frown turned into a teeth baring smile. "We should definitely talk, right now." Tanith grinned and welcomed Valkyrie into Ghastly's shop, closing the door behind her. The two of them wandered off into the back room laughing and chatting, with Valkyrie trying to squeeze out every detail she could from Tanith's grin. They collapsed onto the sofa, Tanith pulling Ghastly's shirt around her.

Ghastly POV

He'd thought about it all day. He'd thought about her all day. She was the love of his life. When he was sure how she felt, and when he knew that everyone else knew, he'd ask her. Ghastly Bespoke would ask Tanith Low to marry him.
