From Chapter [ . . . ] — " Raindrops on Roses "
“Nan I . . . “ His eyes traveled over her form, lips pursing as he took in the sight before him.
She’s shaking . . .
Without pause he took hold of the flannel wrapped around his waist, the sudden action causing her to flinch as her golden irises caught the light, just enough to reveal the shine gathering in her lashes. Every muscle in her body tensed as he wrapped it around her shoulders. Her hands had quickly taken hold of her chest, bunching up the fabric of her collar as she stared up at him with such . . . surprise?
Fale opened her mouth, but nothing seemed to form except a sort of choking noise. Then her jaw clamped, bottom lip beginning to tremble. That’s when he truly registered the tears swelling in her eyes, causing his heart to plummet.
She’s crying . . .
But before he had any chance to move she beat him to it. It was slow, enough that he hadn’t followed along until her hands were already placed on either side of his face. Her touch was warm, and he allowed his head to lean into that warmth, closing his eyes for a moment to just take it in. When they opened however he was greeted with a gentle surprise. She had leaned as far as she could, attempting to keep herself steady on the railing as she pressed her lips to his own.
The wind stilled all at once, the howling dying down to a soft moan. He couldn’t help the smile that appeared as he kissed back, raising his hands to hold her face. Her tears tickled his nose, face scrunching as a small chuckle slipped through. He deepened the kiss the moment he could feel her lips curling into a smile of her own. Stealing her breath as his fingers combing through her hair as her hands settled on his chest.
A soft sigh escaped her nose as his thumbs ran beneath her eyes carefully drying her cheeks. Eventually he drew away, only to find that she had followed his motion eyes fluttering as he leaned back to stare down at her face nestled between his hands.
Several soft words left her lips, like a breath on the wind, eyes curtained. “Please tell me this is real . . .”
His chest bounced as he leaned down to peck at her lips, “It’s real.”

(The last “panel” is my fav 🥰)
My style has improved so much since then . . .
It’s still a very special scene to me especially when I wrote the official chapter. Before that I just wanted to kiss my (new) hubby. (Aka when I first designed him)
Bro’s like—look at how different Nan was! This was my first ever drawing of him and boy was it different.
I’m so happy that I’ve been able to solidify his design into something much softer. Like he’s still the strong doggy I know and love but now he actually looks like someone I’d fall in love with. Sigh 😮💨😔 Fae is so lucky . . .
She gets to kiss a handsome pup and everything! And I’m just left on the curb kicking rocks till my prince charming comes to pick me up 😔
