After the night of the naming celebration, visitors were frequent and welcomed. Tearach savored each memory and filed them away in his heart. Laughing came easily, and he promised himself that Kathy would know what it was to be swept off her feet and boldly loved. When he made his vows, there would be no doubt in her heart or soul that they were meant to be together forever. Not just for the baby's sake, but because together is where two people in love belonged.She awoke in his arms each day, and Tearach began to gradually shift her schedule and his to staying awake nights. That was how the Goblin world worked. The daylight was for resting, the night for work and celebration. Kathy seemed to embrace his life and customs with joy and continual curiosity.Cairna and Rome planned for a handfasting during Imbolc or the traditional first day of spring. The entire household was turned upside down in preparation, and Tearach loved every moment of it. His baby grew, and he couldn't imagine his life without her precious presence.
