"Red the rose..." she repeated, in her silk laden voice, and Rey took a really heavy step forward.
His heartbeat now fluttered at the rate a humming bird flaps its wings, and he was afraid he would hyperventilate.
"Lips, ripe as the berries in June... Gently as she goes." She continued her chime like voice, and Rey heaved a heavy sigh.
How indulgent. She was singing about herself.

"About time, My Precious... I was getting tired of waiting." She smiled at him.
