Dominic looked toward the wedding robes, confusion on his face. "So you bought wedding robes, simply because you thought they were pretty?" It didn't make sense, it didn't mesh with what he knew of Hestia. She had likely had a reason, even if it was one near and dear to her heart, one she didn't feel comfortable letting him in on just yet.
He raised an eyebrow, taking her hands in his. "Hestia...you can tell me the truth, you know. You don't have to pretend and give me that laugh, the one that I know is fake. For Merlin's sake, I've known you for years, and in these last few months gotten the chance to know you more intimately than I ever dreamed possible. You SHOULD tell me, so that we can work through this together."
