*Shadi smiled.*
"I know. Maybe that's why I like you so much."

*Rochester sucked his lip and tucked her hair behind her ear.*
"So what are we going to do about it? We seem to be trapped by our own wanting."

*Shadi looked down and bit her lip.*
"Would Nadir really know, if we..."
*She looked up quickly, to search Rochester's gaze with her own.*

*Rochester lowered his eyes, seriousness infecting him for a moment.*
"Shadi...please don't ask me that. I have promised. I adore you...I want you to be happy...but please, don't ask be to betray my word."
*He looked back up and caressed her cheek tenderly.*
"And besides, I would want to make it special...not in some creepy castle. Who knows, given time...I like to thing that such things are still in our future. I pray that they are, if you will still have me then."

*Shadi hid her disappointment. She'd always been impatient.*
"Of course, silly. Who else?"
*She tweaked his nose. She wanted him, but she didn't like seeing him unhappy. It didn't suit him at all.*

*Rochester looked up with a smile. He knew she was disappointed, but he appreciated her understanding on the matter. He forced up his usual jovial nature with a grin and an arched eyebrow.*
"Well then...I'll just have to make sure you are properly distracted until then."
*He squeezed her playfully.*

*Shadi blew a raspberry on the exposed part of Rochester's chest.*
"Yes--I do get so bored! I can't even spy on Nadir and Xandros, as they're hardly ever around."

*Rochester's brow furrowed in a pout.*
"Then I guess I should be visiting you more often. I would hate for you to get too lonely. You could always..."
*He lowered his lashes coyly.*
"...come visit my home."

*Rochester brushed a lock of hair from her face, observing her affectionately.*
"And why not? It's the place that I enjoy everything that I lo--"
*The word caught in his throat and he blinked a few times to shake it off with a grin.*
"I think that you would fit in perfectly. And I would enjoy entertaining you there very much."

*Shadi brightened even more.*
"Really? I'd love to meet your friends. I bet you have lots! I just... I guess I thought maybe I wouldn't be posh enough."

"Posh?"
*Rochester brow rose.*
"Oh, darling...they'll just want to gobble you right up. I can't say I blame them...you are quite delicious. Oh, say you'll come, Shadi. They'll adore you."

*Shadi nodded emphatically.*
"I will, I will! Oh, I can't wait, Rochester. I'd love to meet your friends. The ones I have met are so lovely."

*Rochester eyed her playfully.*
"Well...I hope you're not setting my standards to high there, my darling. There are few that I would count quite as lovely as you."
*He lifted his eyes and sighed as if he were forced to think on something.*
"So would you like me to host you at a dinner in your honor? Or would that make you blush too terribly? Not that it's not a lovely color on you, if I do say so myself."

*Shadi grabbed his hands.*
"Oh, really? That would be wonderful! I've never been a real, grown up party like that. You would do that for me?"
*She paused, her eyes darkening.*
"Are you sure the won't think me... common?"
