«See you later!»

Upon returning home, Tom collapsed onto the creaking bed. Pictures of what had happened in the fields kept flashing through my head. Fear of the unknown and sadness corroded the soul more and more, when answered the questions that gnawed at the young man over and over again led to a fork.

"I'm too young for her..?! Or was I too blinded by her beauty..?!"

Thoughts became more confused and noisy, as if dancing an ugly waltz inside the skull. It hurt badly in chest. Thoma cringed, trying to hold back the negativity inside him. There was so much more wanted to know, so much to ask, from which her tender appearance painfully attracted.

The first obstacles appeared on the way.

The gate creaked. Lumin cautiously walked into the courtyard. The mind gradually cleared up, and the frustrated expression of the young man's face was still drawn before his eyes. The tired sigh became a kind of heaviness, like Diluc sitting on the threshold.

— "Is something waiting for me..?" — Ragnvindr flashed through mind at the sight of her confused husband.

The man darkened more as soon as he noticed the blonde. Exhaling another portion of tobacco smoke, Ragnvindr beckoned Lumin to him, and she approached cautiously and sat down modestly beside. A cool breeze carried the ashes away until they dared to disturb the night's peace.

— Well, where were you? — The serious tone in Diluc's voice was quite intimidating. The devouring gaze is directed exactly at the guilty face of the wife.

— Decided to clear my head after a couple of missed glasses of wine. Wandered around the neighborhood and got lost. Well, some guy passed by, so he saw me off, — Lies fell from her lips without hesitation. Let fear and guilt torment from the inside, you can't go astray. Her hands trembled treacherously, causing the blonde to helplessly cling to man so that the deception would not be exposed.

— What are you, really? — Diluc clarified with some surprise, putting out his cigarette. Blonde just nodded in response and smiled lightly. The short conversation ended there.

But the feeling of an obvious lie still did not leave the man. Ragnvindr looked incredulously at the young neighbor's rickety house until the dozing Lumin's head sank onto his shoulder. He didn't want to disturb her again. Diluc cautiously got up from the threshold, in an attempt to hold his wife. The man then took her in his arms and entered the house.

The first suspicions can give a crack in the relationship.

In her amber eyes, the sun's rays shimmered beautifully, gleaming like precious stones. A blush once again adorned her snow-white cheeks. Her gentle voice resounded with a booming echo that hovered among the slender birches. Lightness and genuine fun enveloped her soul, tired of the city.

Another couple of days have passed, leaving doubts and sorrows behind. All the same, Alberich's advice paid off. The longer Thoma spent time with the beautiful metropolitan lady, the more he learned about her. But because of this, Ragnvindr attracted more to herselve. It was becoming increasingly difficult to resist the call own heart and my feelings. Everything in chest tightened with pain when it was time to say goodbye. But it can still be been through.

Even now, walking with Lumin in a birch grove, feelings and all the warmth for her quickly made their way out. She is so close that you can touch her graceful arms and fragile shoulders again. Capture her every movement with a fascinated gaze. Laugh with her at stupid jokes. This will be remembered for a long time.
