Surprises (i)

Ember's POV

"Are you okay with that portion my love?" Trent inquired as we sat down for dinner. I didn't know why he was acting all lovey-dovey. Oh, I think I understand now. He wanted his sister who sat opposite us to be very pained and I was very happy.

I smiled at him, playing along, "Great, I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you in my life. I mean no one would have imagined that we would be together to this point. I would have not believed it even." I said laughing heartily too.

"Good, I don't know what I'd do without you either."

Elise's gaze narrowed at me but I didn't spare her a single glance whatever she decided to do was her business. "Why aren't you marked yet?" She inquired and I stared at her. She shrugged. " For people who claim to be so in love with each other you sure do not have the sign."

"Oh, really?" He replied and she nodded.

"Well, my baby and I do not want the pain that comes with marking plus it's nobody's business whether we get marked or not."
