"How did His Majesty take it?"

"Surprisingly well. He was all right with Prince Tsuge and he didn't pass out when Princess Yuki told him about Prince Lune, what with him being a cat and all."

"Hmm." Evangeline lifted up the smoky ball and spun it in the palm of her hand. "And Baron?"

Toto hopped to her shoulder. "See for yourself," he said, tapping the crystal with his beak.

The glass cleared, revealing a couple twirling around on a polished wood floor. The woman was all in white, her partner in black. Tapping the ball with a long red nail, the image zoomed in until the man and woman's faces filled the glass entirely.

It was Baron and Haru, smiling adorably at each other as they waltzed across the room. Baron tipped her in a very low dip before bringing her back up and lifting her in the air. She was laughing.

As he lowered her back to earth, she cupped his face in her hands and smiled. Unwrapping one arm from her waist, he tipped her chin down and kissed her. There was the faint sound of applause in the background, and when they drew apart the couple leaned their foreheads together.

I love you, Baron mouthed, closing his eyes.

I love you too, Haru replied, hugging her new husband.

"I told you so, Baron," Evangeline whispered. "Everyone deserves a happy ending, even you."

She leaned back as the ball zoomed out and clouded up again. Smiling, she brushed her fingers along Toto's feathers. "Good job, Toto," she murmured, lightly kissing his head.

"Did you hear that?"

Haru opened her eyes and looked up into her husband's jade green ones. "Hear what?"

Baron shook his head. "It must be my imagination," he murmured.

"What was it?" she asked, her forehead crinkling in concern.

He smiled. "I thought I heard someone say, 'I told you so.'" He squeezed his wife's waist. "But like I said, it must have been my imagination."

Haru giggled. "Should I be concerned for your sanity?"

"Because I'm hearing voices? Possibly."

She kissed his nose. "That's okay. I bet you're cute in a straightjacket."

Baron rolled his eyes. "That is surprisingly uncomforting, my dear."

"Well, 'till death do us part,' right?"

He grinned. "Right."
