Shauntal could barely sleep a wink. She was far too excited and anxious about her wedding to close her eyes. Sitting at her desk in Lucian's home, she held a Litwick in her hand, admiring the illuminating ghostly flame that barely burned her fingertips. as she held a haunted candle. A soft hum left her lips as she leaned into her chair.
It would be several weeks before she would be permitted to pick up a pen. As promised, neither the ceremony nor the honeymoon was to have a notepad in hand. Normally, she would be distraught over the idea of not being able to write while with him. However, after all the drama she dealt with lately, her mind felt so overworked. Perhaps this hiatus was something she needed. Just a week or two with someone she cared for with no distractions from work or thoughts of others.
It would only be her, Lucian, and a few Pokemon they wished to take traveling with them. She knew she was at least bringing her Banette and Chandelure with her. She wasn't sure who he was bringing with him, but they could always figure that out later. The Litwick in her hand leaned into her hand like a needy child, earning a soft giggle from Shauntal. She gave the cursed candle a soft head pat around its waxed head as she took a deep breath. She was going to regret not sleeping but that was okay. Shauntal had done all-nighters before. Love made her mind and body impatient for an exciting tomorrow.
