He could feel the anxiety as he waited on the other side of her door, and it took every inch of self-control not to just break it down. Cammie wasn't a damsel, though he knew he'd probably been treating her as such since they'd arrived at Mystic Veil. After everything she had been through, after what had happened at the school, after Eirian, Rain wasn't going to take any chances. Still, he knew his soulmate was a strong woman, so he tried not to smother her too much.
At least that was the hope.
When the door finally opened, he couldn't help the way his lips quirked at the corners, multicolored eyes roaming over her as they darkened to a deep blue. Her voice brought Rain back to the current moment, and he remembered what he was here for. It wasn't to leer at Cameo like some unrefined caveman. "No. It's more of something I forgot to tell you," he replied, his grin deepening into a familiar mischievous one. "Surprise," he added, extending the flowers to her with a flourish.
