"Thank you, filho," Eirian said, smiling softly as tears sprung to her eyes. They were happy tears, even in light of what she knew she was giving up. The chance to leave, the chance to date, the chance to live like people expected her to here. But it'd all be okay... Because she was gaining a future with Thiago. Before, he wasn't a sure thing; so much could change, and her father's death had proved that. Thi wasn't a flight risk - no, never. But the world... The
world was a flight risk. It could leave Eirian with nothing any second, and at least now she would have one thing: a husband, bound to her side by the law. There was no way Thiago could be taken from her. "It is necessary... I do not like the thought of being married so young, but so much in my life has proved to me that things change. If Thi is legally mine, the world cannot take him from me! My tie on Jayce, though, is about to expire... I will no longer be his sibling in the eyes of the law after February 13th."
