A Hundred of Her Memories
91 – Garden
"Now, about that wedding."
Xion choked on her tea. Axel slapped her back as she coughed.
The older man ignored. "I was thinking we could have it in the garden."
"But Dad," Axel said, "We eloped. Said our vows and bought the rings. This was sort of our honeymoon."
"No, it's okay, Axel," Xion interrupted.
"Boy," his father stood up, "This isn't for you. This is for us. Don't you think we want to officially swear Xion into our family? I've been waiting to meet the girl that would catch your eye since you were ten. Let's not downplay the magnitude of this occasion."
The redhead glanced down at Xion's beaming face and sighed. "Of course we won't. We'll pull all the stops. How would you like that, Xion?"
The blue-eyed beauty looked up in excitement. "Yes! I've always wanted a wedding in a garden!"
"Always?" he teased, poking her nose with his forefinger.
"Well… not always…" she muttered.
Axel's mother laughed and smiled at her boy's true love. "So what say you, Xion? Would you like to be our daughter?"
The black-haired girl smiled and blushed. "Yes ma'am, I would like that very much."
A slight reference to 79 – Mermaid, where Xion tells her daughter Luna a fairytale about a Mermaid. ;)
