Chapter 85
CARLYLE’S POV
“Let’s get married!” I said out of the blue and the moment stilled.
The words tumbled out of my mouth before I could stop them, a spontaneous eruption fueled by a mixture of nerves and a deep-seated longing.
“Let’s get married!” I blurted, the declaration hanging in the air like an unspoken promise. Time seemed to freeze, the moment stretching into eternity as I awaited her response.
Her silence was deafening as the lack of an immediate reply echoed through the space between us, My heart pounded in my chest, each beat a reminder of my words. What had possessed me to speak so impulsively, to lay bare my innermost res without preamble or warning?
As we locked eyes, a torrent of emotions surged within the. Uncertainty mingled with hope, fear danced with anticipation. Was this the right moment, the right person? Doubt gnawed at the edges of my resolve, threatening to undermine the fragile foundation upon which my declaration stood,
But beneath the layers of doubt, there was a kernel of unwavering certainty. A conviction that whispered to me in the quiet recesses of my mind, urging me to trust in the power of love and the possibility of forever. In her eyes, I saw a reflection of my own longing, a silent acknowledgment of the connection that bound us together.
Despite the uncertainty, despite the fear, I knew that this was a moment meant to be seized. A leap of faith into the unknown, guided by the unwavering belief that love would light the way. And so, I waited with bated breath, clinging to the hope that she would find the courage to join me on this journey into the unknown.
As I sat there, still reeling from the weight of my impulsive declaration, a soft rustle broke the silence. Laryl, my faithful companion, padded into the room, his eyes sharp with curiosity. I could sense his keen intelligence as he circled me, his presence serving as a comforting anchor in the storm of my emotions.
“What have you done, human?” he asked, his voice a low rumble that seemed to echo the turmoil within me.
“I… I don’t know,” I confessed, shaking my fingers in anxiety.
“I just… it felt right, you know? But now… now I’m not so sure.”
Laryl regarded me with a steady tone, his voice reflecting the flickering candlelight.
“You have spoken from the heart,” he observed, his voice softening with understanding.
“But the heart is a fickle thing, casily swayed by the whims of emotion.”
I nodded, acknowledging the truth in his words.

Laryl tilted his head, as if contemplating my question with the wisdom of centuries. “Mistakes are a part of life, human,” he replied, her voice gentle yet firm. “But it is what we do in the aftermath that defines us. Will you cower in the face of uncertainty, or will you stand tall and face whatever comes your way?”
His words struck a chord within me, stirring a sense of determination amidst the sea of doubt. “I will stand tall,” I vowed, the words ringing with newfound resolve. “No matter what happens, I will face it head-on.”
Laryl nodded in approval, a glimmer of pride shining in her eyes. “That is the spirit, human,” he declared, his voice resonating with quiet strength.
“Remember, no matter the outcome, you are never alone. I will always be by your side, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead.”
