secret but the love we make… nobody is watching. It’s ours.”
    “I… I understand. It’s just my instincts…”
    His finger linger along my forehead and brushed my bangs to the side and behind my ear. As he looked down into my eyes, I found myself looking up at him and having trouble speaking.
    “You’re the most beautiful being I’ve ever laid eyes upon. That makes me the luckiest person, man or beast. Simply because you are with me. I want everyone to know that I am yours and you are mine. I… I’m sorry if I embarrassed you.”
    “You don’t have to apologize for that,” I started to blush. “You’re right. I… I shouldn’t care what anybody thinks. Who cares if they know we’re having sex?”
    I reached out for him and he kissed me softly on the lips. I felt a tinge of him rush through my body. My withdrawal had been answered and the drug that Vaughn was returned to my being. I wrapped my arms around him once again and together we made our way to my apartment.
    “So what was it that you were working on?” I asked him.
    “It’s a surprise.”
    “Surprise? Well, now I’m just going to keep bugging you until you tell me.”
    “Patience, Ariel. You’ll see soon enough.”
    “But—”
    “Patience.”
    This wasn’t like Vaughn at all. He never kept anything from me and he never went out of his way to do anything out of the ordinary. But I didn’t mind. I welcomed him acting out of character if it meant something special.
    We got to my apartment and when I went to open the door, Vaughn stopped me.
    “What are you doing?”
    “Close your eyes, Ariel.”
    “What?”
    He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back at him then followed his instructions. With my eyes closed and my mind racing with curiosity, I listened to the sound of Vaughn opening my apartment door.
    “Watch your step,” he said as he took one of my hands and led me inside.
    Even with my eyes closed, I knew that there was something different in my apartment. I couldn’t see it but I could smell it. There was a sound coming from my kitchen that I couldn’t quite make out. I was growing more excited with each step, the smile on my face becoming more apparent.
    “Now?” I asked him.
    “Not yet…”
    “ Vaughn !”
    I was practically begging to see what he was up to.
    “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” I asked him.
    “Maybe,” he whispered into my ear. “But is it really so bad to have your eyes closed for just a few moments longer?”
    “I suppose…”
    My words trailed off as I felt his lips trail along my neck. I sighed from his touch. The way he touched me always made me melt. My body vibrated with an energy that only he could bring. I could almost feel my flesh beginning to tingle as I felt him lean in closer to me.
    “Now you can open your eyes.”
    I sighed and started to blink. The smile disappeared and my mouth hung open as I saw what Vaughn had done. Every inch of my apartment was covered in flowers. My couch, my cabinets, the table. There were vases and bouquets covering every inch. Even the ground had red and purple rose petals upon it.
    “This is amazing,” I smiled at him. “How long did this take you?”
    “Longer than it should have, I’m afraid. I—”
    “That’s why you were late.”
    He nodded and I leaned in close to hug him.
    “Nobody’s ever done anything like this for me before. You turned my dreary apartment into a… into a wondrous place.”
    “I know that you enjoy the time we spend out in the forest. But I like being here with you, Ariel. I figured why not have both.”
    “That makes sense.”
    “So you like it?”
    “I love it.”
    I looked up at him and he pecked me softly upon the lips. I wasn’t expecting anything like this but I was pleasantly surprised. High off of the feeling of being with Vaughn, I walked through my apartment and gently placed my hands upon the flowers to see that they were real.
    “Have a seat,” Vaughn said.
    “There’s more?”
    “Just a
