Both sought the same answer, yet emotion rendered her silent, even as his eyes pleaded with her own. Ashe swallowed, took a deep breath to gather herself as far as possible, and smoothed her hand into the press of his cheek, caressing so tenderly that her touch may have spoken for itself.
"I..." Her voice came as little more than a breath, afraid of rejection yet adamant not to let this go without knowing. Yet still the words failed, leaving only one option.
Slowly her hand stroked lower, traced his jawline toward his lower lip, all the while she feared him turning away. Feather-light, the princess' thumb brushed the smoothness of Delita's lip, trembling only once in the act.
