Abra wastes no time searching for Buffy. She discovers her in the kitchen eating. "I have good news, dear one. I've spoken with Haipo and he has consented."
"Consented? But why?"
Taking a bit of fish taco, Abra says, "He realized the importance of doing his duty to the tribe." The creator mother squeezes Buffy's hand. "May the Maker bless him with a daughter."
Elation fills Buffy's insides. "I will give him a daughter. A creator heiress!"

Jumping from her seat, she flies outside to find Haipo standing next to the gong, waiting for her. Her stomach leaps when her eyes catch his.
“Creator,” Haipo says, bowing. “You look even more beautiful in the moonlight. Surely not even a lion, the king of the animals would be worthy of your presence.”
Tingles flutter within her. Shyly, she says, “Are you flattering me to get out of trouble, Haipo?”

“Never,” Haipo says, taking Buffy’s hands. “I’m being serious now. I hope you will forgive my earlier ignorance. I’d be honored to sire your child.”

His hands felt warm, covering hers. Happy tears blur Buffy’s vision. “I’m so grateful, Haipo. You won’t be disappointed.”

Never letting go of her hand, Haipo assures her, “I was such a fool before. I don’t want you to remember that.” He traces a finger along her jawline, sending shivers down her neck to her spine. “This will be our time. I’ll make these moments special for you.”

The wind picks up, sending warm air swirling about them. Buffy takes it as a good sign from the Maker about their union. Without hesitation, Buffy leans in and kisses Haipo. When his warm lips meet hers, she knows she’s under Bracha’s curse for she is falling in love with Haipo and there’s nothing the world could do about it. He has her heart.

Whispering, Bracha says, “I want to take this slow, Haipo. I have plans for our chambers and it isn’t ready yet.”
Haipo smiles. “Let’s watch the stars together then. Of course, I’ll be here whenever you’re ready, Kitten.”
Buffy grins at the pet name he gave her only the night before. It will be a treasure she’ll hold when she’s alone yet again. But tonight, she would not think about when he will have to leave her. In fact, a bold plan surges to the surface of her mind. Maybe she could keep Haipo here just a bit longer.

As they look at the stars and talk together while the crickets chirp and the frogs croak, Buffy prays her plan will work and that Haipo will spend many moons with her before his departure to another tribe.
