Jareth carried Marilla back to their room.

In just a few moves, he removed the white cotton dress stained with paint from her body, and carried her snow–white figure into the bathroom.

Hot tears fell one by one onto Jareth’s shoulder as she cried. He was frightened, his arms wrapped around her smooth body, wishing he could embed her into his very being.

“What’s wrong? Who bullied my wife and made her cry so sadly?”

Jareth asked anxiously, but Marilla just cried.
