Page 8 of When She's Stuffed

The elegant mesakkah lord watches me, and I swear I feel like a naughty child. "Did he finally speak up?"

"Hm?"

"Toghar? About his feelings? I take it he finally said something?"

"Oh. Uh. Yes." Did he talk to Lord va'Rin about me? Has he been planning to speak to me for a while? How many others know about his feelings for me? Has he been telling everyone?

Why does that make me so giddy inside?

A hint of a smile curves the lord's mouth, and he seems just as pleased as I am. "About time."

I couldn't agree more.
