Merlin and Morgana sat on a blanket at their local park. A basket of food sat beside them, but they weren’t eating. They held hands and watched the children on the playground and other people strolling through the park. Finally, Morgana spoke. “Did you know that you rescued me?”
“I rescued you? How?” Merlin replied.
“You took my black and white, humdrum life and threw color into it. All the things that I’d thought I’d wanted were really just what my father wanted for me. I realized that I didn’t want the life he’d planned for me. And look where I am now.”
“The park?”
Morgana shoved him lightly. “No, with you. Married to you. My days outside work are filled with love and light, and the things I want. And best of all, I’m free of my father’s influence. I couldn’t imagine a more perfect life.”
Merlin squeezed her hand. “All I did was show you a different life.”
“It was enough. You changed me irrevocably.”
“Thank you. I had no idea you felt that way.”
“You’re perfectly welcome.” She pecked him on the lips. “Now what do you say we dig into this picnic lunch? I’m starving.”
“But of course, my lady. Food coming your way.”
