As they drove home from the reception, Itoshi Rin glanced over at Alex, taking in her flushed cheeks and happy giggle. He couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment settle over him like a warm blanket. Despite all that had happened between them, they had managed to find their way back to each other - stronger than ever before.

Pulling the car into the driveway, he reached across her and opened her door before climbing out himself.

She giggled as she stepped out of the car, leaning against it with a sigh of relief. "Well," she said with a mischievous grin, "I suppose now that we're married I can expect you to be even more gentlemanly."

He raised an eyebrow in mock shock. "Is that what they're teaching you at these fancy wedding workshops?" he teased, wrapping an arm around her shoulders as they walked toward the house together.

They're at the park, just across the street. I can see them now, watching the entrance to your building... They won't give up until they have me. And if they do... well, it won't be good for either of us.

I trust you, Luki. The White Death. Please be careful. I know you can handle them, but promise me you'll come back to me. This is all so terrifying, but I want you here. Safe with me.
