Dreams Come True
Richard stared up at the stars considering his future. He and Kahlan had been married for three months now and the world was quiet. He hoped it would last.

Picking the brightest star, Richard mentally drew a bow with nocked arrow in the night sky and just as he made it back around, Kahlan sat down beside him. She looked up for a moment, resting back against the log next to him.

“Lost in thought again, Richard?” Kahlan asked, her tone was soft and playful.

“Thinking about all the dreams I once had, and all the ones I have now,” he replied.

“I used to dream about growing up, finding a man I loved and finding a way to be with him without confessing him. I think every confessor secretly dreamed of that.”

“You made your dream come true,” he said, turning to face her.

“I guess I did.” She smiled back. “What are your dreams?”

“I used to dream of finding a beautiful, intelligent woman, marrying her and having a family with her in the woods.”

“Well, three out of four isn’t bad,” she said.

Richard’s brow furrowed. “Three? I only count two.”

Kahlan said nothing for a moment. “We’ll we’re not living in the woods.” She said slowly. “At least not yet. I mean, we can build a house in the woods outside Aydindril and just go escape there now and again.”

“Kahlan,” Richard interrupted. “Are you with child?”

“Took you long enough,” she said.

Richard lunged forward, pulling Kahlan into a tight hug. “You always seem to make my dreams come true.”

“Eventually,” Kahlan added with a laugh.
