Kaphiri listened more with the patience and understanding of a saint. She didn't deserve a man so good and devoted, but she wanted to deserve him. Oh so badly. And as she bent down to kiss him, he pulled her in with all the passion in the world. Then kissed her fully back, embracing her in all the love and adoration that he ever had for her. It took her completely by surprise, but she adored it all the same. It was the most euphoric thing, to be loved back and embraced by a man like him. Almost instantly Amrei had put the past behind her, no longer worrying about what might have been. If Azrael wanted her to be in his life, he would have showed back up. Now it was time for her to move on, and Kaphiri had finally given her the way out.
