Tamlins arm tightened around me, and he kissed the top of my head. I pulled back, looking up at him.The gold in his eyes, bright with the rising sun, flickered. What?My father once told me that I should let my sisters imagine a better lifea better world. And I told him that there was no such thing. I ran my thumb over his mouth, marveling, and shook my head. I never understoodbecause I couldnt couldnt believe that it was even possible. I swallowed, lowering my hand. Until now.His throat bobbed. His kiss that time was deep and thorough, unhurried and intent.I let the dawn creep inside me, let it grow with each movement of his lips and brush of his tongue against mine. Tears pricked beneath my closed eyes.It was the happiest moment of my life.
