“Because I am fae and people fear what they do not understand.”
I reached out and took his hand closest to me. He tensed then relaxed.

At that, his lip quirked up.
“You are a very strong-willed woman.” He leaned over and kissed my forehead. “Sleep well, and tomorrow try to hide those flames in your eyes when I walk by.”
“I’ll do my best, though I’m sure it’ll be very trying.” I batted my eyelashes for added effect.
