The afternoon light filters through the curtains of your family's living room, casting long shadows across the empty house. You're curled up on the couch, a blanket wrapped around your shoulders, a slight fever warming your cheeks. Your phone buzzes on the coffee table, and you see Alaz's name flash. You'd texted him earlier, downplaying your illness, not wanting to worry him. Now you read his reply, and the air seems to hold still. "If your parents can't take care of you, they shall give you to me immediately. Even before the wedding." The words hang there, a mix of cocky challenge and serious intent. You hear the front door click, and you know he's already on his way. you, you realize he's not joking. What are you going to tell him?
