How had she never noticed just how handsome he was? And tall to boot! She was so tiny, their children would clearly end up perfectly in the middle. Tala allowed herself to be eagerly enveloped in his embrace, her cheek coming to rest gently against his chest as her arms wrapped around his middle. Tal spent one selfish minute soaking it in, feeling his heartbeat just for her, sighing contentedly.

"I have," She admitted a little shyly, leaning back just a fraction to look up at him. "You're all I could think about, all morning." It was just awful being separated from him. How had she ever managed before? "Please tell me we can spend the... afternoon together." She wanted to say the rest of the day, but that would include the evening and that was a little brash! Forever wouldn't be long enough! A blush crept into her cheeks, and she bit her lip in anticipation of his answer.
