The room was dimly lit, the light from the sunset outside the window fading away as night came on. Neither of them had bothered to turn on a lamp. He had caught her some time before, one hand in hers, the other on her hip as Zac Brown’s Whatever It Is played on the radio. Songs had come and gone since then, but that hadn’t stopped their gentle sway around the room, the way his gaze refused to leave hers, nor the lingering kisses and the way he ran the tip of his nose across the side of her head with a featherlight touch.
“I missed this,” he admitted, finally able to find some words. “Missed you.”
Zelda had never been particularly good at dancing. It was one of the few things that her size didn’t lend well to. Dancing, in any sort of good or professional manner, was meant for the small, petite girls that were often shown on professional programs. Large, muscular women weren’t usually the first to come to mind when someone mentioned a woman dancing. Not that Zelda minded - her grace came in the form of battle, and that was more her style anyway.
However, there was something nice and peaceful about this.
Jesse had caught her, one hand on her wrist, and tugged her into him, holding her close. One of her hands went around his shoulders, the other resting in his hand. Her head had been resting on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as the music played, songs coming and going as they swayed. She had followed his lead, moving around the room to his guidance, but her part was little more than small footsteps and gentle swaying. That was enough for her and, judging by the length of time they had been repeating this motion, enough for him.
Her head was currently up, her blue eyes glued to his brown eyes, allowing herself to get lost in them before the sound of his voice guided her back to reality. Her lips curled upward in a smile, the expression softening her features that much more.
“I don’t recall dancing enough with you for you to miss it,” she teased, “but I missed you too. I’m sorry for taking so long. I’m back, now, Jesse. With you.”
