Love in Color
Haldir\r\n\r\n
“Patience, Haldir.”
Haldir stared at Elrohir’s retreating back. His fists clenched as his eyes roamed the manicured lawn.
Elaneth was reclining against the ancient oak, a relaxed smile touching her lips. He ignored the urge to scream, instead raging silently, and turned from the frustrating scene.
Arrows whizzed through the air, the target taking the brunt of his fury. Unexpectedly, green fletching intruded upon a target full of white feathers. Red-tinged shadows blurred his vision.
“Leave me be, you confounded elleth!”
He turned, preparing to fight. Across the lawn, Elaneth laughed. Behind him, Legolas was grinning.
“No archery contest then?”
Chapter 2 - Elaneth
Love in Color
Elaneth\r\n\r\n
Elaneth watched Haldir strut across the room, frustration like fire bubbling up in her stomach. She slammed the heavy atlas down on the table, ridiculously satisfied that the racket had made the Marchwarden turn her direction.
Satisfaction melted into white hot fury at the coolly inquisitive expression knitting his eyebrows. He glanced from the book to Elaneth’s flushed cheeks, and a half smile tugged at the corners of his lips. Blinding red anger obscured her vision.
Between the blood pounding in her ears and the ten thousand curses streaming through her head, Elaneth barely registered Legolas’s bemused warning.
“Patience, Elaneth.”
