I sit in the library behind a piano. In my mean time in here, I learnt a few chords. I play some light melody and look out the window.

"That was really nice." Leif stands in the door.

"Thank you." I smile at him.

"Anything else you can play?"

"Not really."

He walks to me and sits down. He starts moving his fingers fast and I listen impressed.

"I haven't played in a very long time but you don't forget some things." He chuckles.

"What song was that?"

"One I wrote when I was bored."

"You wrote it?" I ask with open mouth.

"Yeah, just the melody ..."

"What was the inspiration?"

He hits one key. "You." he smirks shortly.

I blush. "Hmm." I nod at him "it's lovely."

He lays his head on my shoulder. "Will you stay here with me? In this castle?"

"Like today?" I ask him.

"No, like ... forever."

"Oh," I smile, "Why would I not?"

"If you want to explore more, I won't be mad."

"I don't need to go anywhere, Leif. I already found what I was looking for."

He chuckles and kisses my shoulder. "Me too."

"There's enough place for all of us." I press one key, "even if we ... want to have a bigger family one day."

"If we want to."

"Hmm." I look out the window. "It's so quiet here."

"I go here to clear my thoughts, but I haven't been here in a while."

"Why? Nothing to think about?"

"No. I have it all sorted out now." Leif says, "I was but ... I don't need to chase anymore. I found it." he looks into my eyes,

" ... in you."
