It'd been so long since he'd experienced the feeling of someone's arms around his neck in an embrace. As precious as the watch was to him already, Faustus had to focus on remembering it was in his hand and oh, so delicate so as to not drop it at once and take her by the waist again. He laughed softly at her additional explanation. Yes, looking down at his watch to see his wife constantly at ‘hospital’ would give him cause for some alarm during his regular day. “Thank you for sparing me the need to constantly check up on you.” He replied, only pulling away the slightest bit to peer down at her. “I’m sorry to say my present for you was not…the most practical to give you right here and now.” Faustus averted his gaze for a brief moment while a mischievous smile ghosted across his face. “So you must wait a bit more in suspense, I’m afraid.”

Even so, there would be plenty more gifts that he planned to buy for her whilst they were abroad.
