"Are you sure…?" Erik asked, raising a curious eyebrow. Would this really be the first time he'd see her human face? He felt anticipation and realised he'd made a good choice in never peeking all this time.
"Hehe, yeah," Naeku giggled, delighting in the clear excitement in Erik's voice. "Honestly, the patience you've shown in seeing my face is another reason I started loving you. But it's time now. We're married, there's only family up here, and I finally want to look you in the eyes when we kiss."
Grinning, Erik raised an eyebrow as his one free hand stretched over to Naeku's veil. "Are you so sure I never peeked?" he teased playfully. "You'd never have known if I used omnisense."
Naeku chuckled as she leaned her head a little closer to him in anticipation. "Hehe, of course I've had the occasional doubt, but honestly, not as much as you might think."
