He was full of energy, breathing evenly. Seeing him like that made my eyes burn.<\/p>\n<p>Puddy was really awake!<\/p>\n<p>After I had the baby, I&#8217;d gone to see him again and again, pouring a huge amount of the Healer&#8217;s power into him to keep his condition stable.<\/p>\n<p>Erik kept saying Puddy was fine, but for some reason, he just never opened his eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I had almost given up hope.<\/p>\n<p>I never imagined he&#8217;d wake up on the day of my ceremony, like a miracle.<\/p>\n<p>I looked up and met Luis&#8217;s eyes. A soft, knowing smile tugged at his lips. He had clearly known this was coming.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t know whether to laugh or scold him. So this was another one of his surprises?<\/p>\n<p>I stood straight and picked up the small velvet box, still warm from Puddy&#8217;s body. I closed my fingers around it tightly.<\/p>\n<p>Puddy ran two quick circles around my skirt, tail wagging hard. Then Aaron stepped in and gently carried him aside.<\/p>\n<p>I opened the box. Two rings rested on the black velvet inside.<\/p>\n<p>His ring was wide and solid. Mine was slim and graceful, set with a rare, flawless moonstone in the center, ringed by brilliant fire diamonds. The moonstone glowed with a soft blue light, calm and gentle, while the diamonds flashed cool and sharp. It matched the moonstone bracelet Luis had given me perfectly, like they were meant to be together.<\/p>\n<p>In Nordvale, top-quality moonstone veins were rare, and stones this clear and large were even harder to find. I could tell the rings were worth an insane amount.<\/p>\n<p>I traced the engraving inside my band. It was my initials, paired with a thin crescent moon.<\/p>\n<p>Tears welled up instantly. I looked at the man in front of me, my nose stinging.<\/p>\n<p>Luis lifted an eyebrow. &#8220;What&#8217;s that look for? You don&#8217;t like it?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I shook my head, my voice tight. &#8220;Luis &#8230; why are you always so good to me?&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2533","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
