“Well, all this excitement has me ready to retire,” she said, giving a yawn.
Ethan frowned, bent and swept her up.
She slapped his shoulder. “Seriously? It’s a long way back.”
“Just shut up.”
Renner grinned as they left, then noted that the other witches were drifting away with their guardians. When he turned his attention back to the bower, Miren was alone.
“Where…?”
“They wanted us to have some privacy. Said they’d see us at breakfast.”
He’d have to think of a way to repay them for the kindness. Renner pulled her into his arms and bent his head to rest his forehead against hers. “Once bound, we’ll never part,” he whispered, offering the first part of the ancient promise.
Miren’s eyes filled, moonlight glittering in the depths. “One love, one true heart.”
With their vows shared with only the moon as witness, Renner kissed his bride.
