It took Luke a couple more minutes before he appeared in the doorway. He paused at the sight of Keara. She looked like the Keara he knew but at the same time she was also different. “Your eyes are brown?” Luke asked smiling as he moved closer. He took in the bruises but he was also taking in the change and wanting to reassure Keara he leaned in and placed a soft gentle kiss on her lips before he pulled away.
“You look beautiful.” He spoke honestly as he set the items in her lap, “please hold these.” And dipping his fingers into the salve Luke then carefully started to apply the numbing agent to Keara’s bruises. “You should be like this more often.”
