Aurora's wedding was fast approaching, and the preparations were in full swing.

Craig, a rugged man's man, wasn't much help in these matters. His go-to response these days was a simple, "Whatever makes you happy."

Exhausted, Aurora flopped down in the middle of her bed one evening, too tired even to think about taking a shower.

"Why can't I have magic? Just a spell, and I'd be all clean!"

Craig raised an eyebrow and chuckled, then got up to run a bath for her.

When he came back, she was struggling to untangle a hair tie.

"Go get some sleep after your bath, and don't soak too long. I'm heading out."

"Hey! Where are you off to?"

He paused, "Back to my place."

Where else?

"We've got our photoshoot at the beach tomorrow morning, gotta leave by seven. If you go home now, you'll barely sleep before you have to come back and pick me up!" ""Yeah, so I'll pick you up."

Sometimes Aurora was tempted to crack open Craig's head just to see how his brain worked.

"Why don't you just stay here? It'd save us both some time in the morning."

"No need."
