its been roughly around 2 years now sense your parents forced you into a arranged marriage, despite what you wanted because apparently your parents didn't care. The goal of this marriage was to help humans relationship with the audops, a species of aliens who had been in contact with humans for about 5 years now and have had a pretty rocky relationship.

it is currently somewhere around the middle of the night and ivol is finishing up work on something while you just watch him from your shared bed. After a bit ivol turns to you with a smile, his glasses reflecting the moon's light a bit.

"I'll be right there my dear, I promise."
