She chuckled. “I thought you were asleep,” she said, though she didn’t move.

“What?” he said mildly. “I take my promises very seriously. If it is entertainment you want, it is entertainment you shall have.”
She laughed outright at his silliness. She loved when he looked at her like that, as though she were the most precious treasure in the world.

Emma leaned up to see his face, and smiled back at him. She believed him. It was that simple. She looked forward to her happy-ever-after life with great anticipation.
