Lilya finished writing the last part, then looked up. And she smiled. "Not sure what to do now."
"You think they'll believe it?"
She shrugged. "Enough to leave us alone here."
"You are so ridiculous."
"And brilliant." Lilya got up, and went to the bedside, and picked up a soft bundle. "Jayros is always wanting you to hold him. I'm jealous."
"Of course he wants me. I'm far more entertaining."
Lilya crossed her legs, and smiled as he settled behind her and wrapped an arm around her waist. A single lock of white hair fell across her shoulder as he kissed her cheek.
"I love you." She whispered.
"I love you more."
"You know that's impossible."
"It's not, you idiot."
"Shut up and kiss me."
