Poof!
And that was the last anyone saw of one golden-eyed, flustered wife.
Well, at least that was what Luca hoped for after realizing what he had just said and, worse, that he had gotten a response on top of it all.
He really said it.
He actually said it!!!
But contrary to what others might think, Luca Kyros—the current pile of floppy emotional goo—wasn't embarrassed because people heard him. No, that part was fine. He was mortified because he had read about confessions before, and none of them were supposed to happen like that!
In the stories, confessions happened in person, preferably under the moonlight or while walking along a picturesque shoreline.
They did not happen inside the stomach of a sea monster.
So what had he done?!
Not only had he confessed over comms, he couldn't even see Xavier's face!
He didn't get to give him a gift!
He didn't even have time to prepare something romantic!
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
"Aaaaahhh!"
