“Or at the very least not till you reply my query.”

Valerian solely stared at her. Solely at this second did he understand it was truly attainable to wish to kiss a lady and shake sense into her on the similar time.

“Are you attempting to kill me?” he requested grimly.

“I wasn’t—”

“Simply ask no matter it’s a must to ask,” he gritted out. “No matter it’s—”

“Will you marry me?”

Had he fucking heard her proper?

“Once more?”

Valerian’s eyes squeezed shut. God. God. God.

“And this time, not in secret?”

Poppy’s voice was shaking, and when he opened her eyes once more, it was to see her already crying.

“As a result of I would like the entire world to know—”

He pulled her off her knees and into his lap, and her teary snicker was misplaced in his kiss as he fell again towards his seat.

God. God. God.

Poppy’s arms wrapped round his neck. He had let his hair develop longer, and for one second, terror reared its ugly head up—

Please God, don’t.

And for as soon as, Valerian heard His voice simply positive.

I gained’t.

Her fingers brushed towards his curls time and again. However nothing occurred.

Nothing.

He was freed from the previous.

Freed from his outdated self.

God. God. God.

In Poppy’s kiss, Valerian tasted hope, forgiveness, and love.

Thank You. God. Thank You.
