My visage turned serious from Nymeria's question. I gestured for them to lean closer, crooking my finger. They moved closer, their eyes filled with curiosity, breath held in anticipation.
"I told her that you two do not want to marry me yet."
An instant crease formed on their foreheads, their eyes turning into sharp daggers that could have pierced steel.
"When did I ever say that?" Nymeria demanded, her voice rising.
"You ruined our image in front of her," Ume added in an angry hiss, her pink eyes flashing.
"Hehe, just kidding, my sweeties," I chuckled, gently placing my hand on both of their heads, ruffling their hair. My lips curled into a smug smile as I continued, "It is a secret."
"Tell us," they demanded in unison, their brows furrowing deeper. Obviously they were getting annoyed. Who would ever like their significant other keeping secrets from them, especially about something as important as marriage plans?
