Ducaine stood at the stove cooking a meal. His new wife was so cold, but it wasn't her fault. He had procured the property only to find people were living here. So a deal was set up for rent. But after some months the eldest sister simply married him to remove any rent. "Um Vali I'm making pasta are you okay with that?"
"That's fine." Vali spoke softly to him as she sat on the couch. She married him solely to protect her family. The elf had no feelings for him. "Thank you." She said, still unsure of how to think about him.
