“I remember,” she stopped and smacked her dry lips. “I remember one time, before we got married, we both didn't want to go to work one day… so we just didn't go, and we went to the zoo instead.”
“That sounds nice.” Beca's chin rested on Chloe's chest and was looking up at her as she told the story.
“I was so sad that there were no red pandas, but he took me to see the polar bears.” There was a hint of a smile playing on her lips. “We took so many pictures that day.” she then became despondent and lost in thought.
“We could-” Chloe restarted after saying 'we’, wanting to face palm because this was Beca's journey, not theirs, she was only there for moral support. She looked down at Beca, seeing her weary expectant eyes looking right back at her. “Um, maybe you could look at them? The pictures, I mean?” Beca didn't respond, her face remained the same, and she just looked back at Chloe.
“I mean, only if you're really up for it though.” Beca bit her lip and cast her eyes down. They sat in silence for almost three minutes, and then her stormy blue eyes looked back at her, with a small smile accompanying it.
“Yeah… okay.” Chloe kept her surprise inside so she didn't make her change her mind and she nodded gently.
“Okay.”
