Rose decided to stop asking questions and discussing the matter so that Rune wouldn't lose his confidence. She wrapped her arms around the man's neck and kissed his cheek.
"Okay," she said with a sweet smile.
"Uhm... really?" asked Rune in a choked voice. "You... don't mind?"
Rose nodded. "I don't mind. We'll be together forever anyway. There's no rush."
Those words sounded so sweet to Rune's ears. He really hoped it would come true, that after he shared his secret with Rose, she would be able to accept him, and they would be together forever.
"Ahh... you're right." Rune breathed a sigh of relief. He hugged her waist again, more tightly, and kissed her cheek back. "Thank you. You are a wonderful girl."
"What's so wonderful about it?" Rose chuckled. "I didn't do anything."
Rose will meet many of our beloved characters soon.
