Kapitel 707: Three ceremonies (3) [Bonus chapter]

Talia and Damon stood in the fountain and faced each other while holding hands.

The water reached their knees, and neither of them paid attention to the chill that enveloped the lower parts of their legs.

'Are you sure you want to do this?', Damon asked Talia through their private mind-link.

'Yes. You?'

'Absolutely.'

Talia was confused. 'Then… Why did you ask me if I'm sure?'

'Because you are nervous.'

Talia closed her eyes and took a deep breath before responding, 'I am fine now.'  Actually, she just closed off her emotions so that Damon couldn't sense them.

Her nerves were acting out because Evanora's request for a break was strange, and then Yasmin sneaked in a spell for James and Cornelia when the ceremony was supposed to be just a blessing, and Talia and Damon had a history of things going wrong… so yes, she was nervous.
