"Why not? You're my husband, so of course I should go with you when you're about to face something dangerous."
Azul froze in place. He didn't even have the desire to breathe or blink. The only thing he did was stare at Roxanna with his blue eyes. The sound of the gently flowing river and the soft breeze made the atmosphere around them feel incredibly peaceful, the kind of feeling that was like coming home after a long, exhausting day.
It was the kind of feeling that made Azul realize that Roxanna would be the death of him, and he was certain that she was one of the answers that could fill the emptiness in his heart.
"Azul?" Roxanna called his name softly, making him flinch slightly. "Are you alright?"
Azul blinked and finally smiled. "Yes," he said, his voice sounding brighter than before. "Yes, we will go to the ocean together!"
