out in a more rural part of the city laid a village full of names and personalities they did not have the privilege of learning. better to not get attached, anyway.
as if he had read her mind, he suggests to leave tomorrow, almost making her jump out of her seat. so in tune..! "that just riled me up. see, this is why i want to shut my brain off for a minute. maybe it worked, since my words are coming out of your mouth. a bit eerie, though, kind of--" she tilts her head. what was the word? it'll come to her.
the action was as sweet as the smile on her face. "not only did we share that moment together, but here you are, offering to share your hot chocolate, the very thing that could calm your senses? i am. so touched. i should kiss you." it's a joke, she takes the hot mug in her hands, blows a bit, and takes a sip. ahh.
"who is going to take the bath first? i'm not picky." they needed to relax after all that they had done.
