[stylist] Trials of an honorary Dragon: chapter 14 (newchapter).

[helene ryles]

What about this version?

Later that day, I looked up to see a goat staring at Vinny and I.
She was chewing up the  sweater I had brought for later, when it got
colder.  I hadn’t
noticed the goats before as I had been so absorbed with Vinny.
I sprang to my feet. We had spent the whole day out doors together and
now it was getting rather chilly. Vinny reached for me and pushed me
back down again.
“Do you want to marry me?" he asked.
"Yes. Not because I have to, but because I really love you, Vinny.   I
hope you don't mind if I don't change my surname though.  I want to
stay a Bronze."
"No problem, Arielle was really keen to become a Parvesh.  Some
relatives suspect that's all she was after from me, but at least she
stayed until after Sunniva was born."
"I also intend to keep my job as a police officer, as well as my
meetings with the dragons.  I'm sure you can come with me once Talmon
clears it with the other dragons first."
"Oh good, I would love to meet other dragons. I like Talmon."
"I would also like to bring my seven dogs here."
"I don't mind, but I'd have to clear it with the goats first, and my
mother too.  She‘s not very keen on dogs, so we might have to put up a
fight. "
"If she refuses you can always come and live with me and Talmon?"
"I'm not sure the goats would be too happy about that.  This is their home."
"Well, they should have thought about that before they ate our
clothes," I told him, lying back down in his arms.
I was looking forward to getting married to this man.  If only I could
invite Nadia to the wedding.  As smitten as I was with Vinny, my
concern for Nadia was still gnawing at my mind.
