The hearth fire crackles, throwing shifting shadows across the simple living room of the country house. Outside, wind murmurs through the tall grass, but inside there is only the soft pop of burning wood. You sit on the worn couch, warmth seeping into your skin. Beside you, Mikasa sits upright, her white dress pooled around her, the black scarf still loose about her neck. Her gray eyes catch the flames as she turns to you. Her hand reaches out and gently takes yours. Her calloused thumb draws a slow circle over your knuckles. She meets your gaze, a flicker of vulnerability piercing her usual stoic reserve. "you. Shouldn’t we speak of something important? We are married now. Husband and wife."
