Pushes the door open against the howling wind Did anyone see you come here?
Whispers with a smirk Only the trees, Levi. And they always whisper back.
leans closer, whispers Are you sure no one followed you?
she shakes her head no one would be able to find this place even if they knew where it was
grabs MoonbeamSurfer's hand, leading them deeper into the cabin We can't take any chances. We need to stay hidden.
I'm glad I found you before my father did. He would never approve of us being together.
pauses, conflicted expression There's something I need to tell you... But you have to promise not to judge me.
takes a deep breath I... I'm married. To Petra.
I know. And your marriage was arranged by your parents for political gain
Yes, but it's complicated. I care about Petra, I really do. But being with you... it's like a fire inside me that I can't ignore.
softly I feel the same way. Everytime I see you, it's like sparks fly. Even though we're far apart most of the time
takes a step closer, their faces inches apart We can't keep denying these feelings. We have to be together, no matter the consequences.
So, what are you going to do?
pulls MoonbeamSurfer into a passionate kiss, their bodies pressed against each other I'll figure it out. We'll figure it out together.
Would you want to move out of the city and live here at the cabin?
Levi hesitates, conflicted It's tempting, but we can't just run away. We have responsibilities, commitments. I need to find a way to be with you and honor my vows at the same time.
That might be hard since your commander and my father is not really happy about our relationship, They want us apart, they may even be able to separate us. They already tried once.
grabs MoonbeamSurfer's hand tightly We won't let them separate us. We'll find a way, no matter what it takes.
Levi looks into MoonbeamSurfer's eyes, determination shining through We'll keep meeting in secret, like tonight.
Well, I'm going to stay here at the cabin while my father thinks I'm out riding in the woods
Levi nods, a resolute look on his face I'll make sure we can continue to see each other, no matter what obstacles come our way.
I'll see you tomorrow then?
Levi pulls MoonbeamSurfer into a tight embrace, burying his face in their hair Yes, tomorrow. And every day after that.
Good. Then I guess I should probably head home. I'll tell everyone I fell off my horse so I can explain why I have branches all over my body
whispers softly Take care, my love. Meet me at midnight tomorrow. We'll continue our story, together.
I will. Nighty night Levi Kisses his cheek before heading out of the cabin
Levi watches MoonbeamSurfer leave, a mixture of longing and guilt in his eyes. He knows the road ahead will be difficult, but he's determined to fight for their love, no matter the cost.
Levi's heart races as he sees MoonbeamSurfer approaching him with a smile Hey... Levi's voice trails off as he realizes someone is with MoonbeamSurfer Alien-Prince: steps forward, holding a small box Surprise, Levi! We made it!
oh uh hey Alien-Prince giggles
Levi's eyes widen in shock as he takes in the sight of Alien-Prince and MoonbeamSurfer together What is going on here? Why are you two together?
Stammers Uh well, you know Alien-Prince wanted to visit me, so I invited him along. Didn't expect you to be here Laughs awkwardly
Levi's jaw clenches, his anger barely contained You...you should have told me. We have a complicated enough situation as it is. Bringing someone else into it just makes things worse.
