Now there was definitely no chance of Meridian hiding her blush as Damien took her hand in his. Great, this was embarrassing! She tried to get a hold of herself, but all thought stopped when she saw the ring. This made the arrange marriage seem all too real. The ring itself was gorgeous. Now it was the time for Meridian to make her choice. Would she accept her fate, or fight it? A part of her was screaming no, she couldn't do this. However, her loyalty to her kind and a small little told to accept it. So with her free hand, Meridian took the ring from Damien's hand and placed it on her finger. A perfect fit.

"Thank you, it's lovely. Is there anything I can give you? I also will admit, I was against this idea too, but I will do what I must for the good of my people. And like you, I may have also changed my mind after meeting you." she replied with a smile, although it was a nervous one.
