He hadn’t expected so impassioned a response, but he could hardly fault it: he wouldn’t sure he would have been as open as she had, but he was inordinately pleased that she didn’t seem to mind the thought. In fact, given the way she was smiling like that, it rather felt like she liked the notion.
A warm feeling rose in his chest at that – he supposed he was flattered, or relieved, or gratified. He didn’t question it any further than that, didn’t even get a chance to assure her he would before Irene was trying to talk her way out of it.
Elias nudged her arm with his, in playful reproval of her. “You’ve invited me, don’t try and take it back now,” he said, with a look that said I know what you’re doing. “Anyway, I’ll do my best not to bother you,” he added sincerely, “and look, I’ll bring a broom, take it on a test flight when you get too engrossed.” He chuckled, and then glanced sidelong at her again as they walked. Irene was quite a private person, he thought. So was he; it was easy to recognise in other people. But just now she had opened up a little, burst out of herself, and – “I’d like to see you at work,” he admitted.
