"Mama! Papa! Look what I found!" a violet eyed boy said as he came running to his parents clutching a tiny gray kitten in his tiny arms.

Samantha looked up from her book to look at her son that looked so much like his father, "Oh Robert, you found a kitten!" she said kneeling in front of him to see the tiny animal. For Sam everything was perfect. Their wedding day, the locals pitching in by bringing food and decorating the tiny church. She chuckled to herself when Vulbogiô had a hard time making his vows. Sam quickly glanced at the black ring on her finger. A reminder of Vulbogiô's home.

"Can I keep him mama?" Robert said excitedly.

She smiled, "Well you have to ask your father."

The boy turned to look at the man who was carving a figure from wood, "Can I papa?"

Vulbogiô looked up from his carving, "If you think you're responsible for a pet then yes."

Robert grinned wildly, "Thank you papa!" he said running inside their home.

Samantha stood up and wrapped her arms around Vulbogiô's waist, placing a soft kiss on the corner of his lips, "That was nice of you dear husband."

He smiled lovingly at her, "Oh wife, we've been married for nearly six years and I never get tired of you calling me husband."

Sam gave him a mischievous smile, "I know and you never let me forget."

Vulbogiô gave a low hearty laugh, "Oh woman, I shall remind you again tonight!" he said carrying her bridal style.

Destiny chuckled to herself as she watched the two join their four year old son in their cabin.

Their souls have been united, she spoke to the celestial spirits whose lights brighten happily.

Now for Charlie R. Miles's turn.
