Garnae's heart beat fast when he saw Cordelia was blushing. She stopped to say something back, and stopped him from going into the house. They stood underneath the light of the Evenstar, and then...
"I really like you, Cordelia."
Garnae wasn't sure how it happened. It seemed she slipped on a stone, but the ground appeared smooth when he visited out later. The next thing he knew she had fallen into his arms and he was looking into those blue, blue eyes... He couldn't help himself, he kissed her. He thought it was probably the time of the night, the fact he had been drinking, maybe even that scent on the wind blending with her hair. He would normally have been a lot more cautious. Perhaps it was fate. Well, I've done it now, can't go back, thought Garnae.
But he opened one eye and saw a bottle of wine standing nearby. Good for cooking, he thought, and closed it.
