His thumb stilled — the habit he didn’t need broken, catching her fingers mid-motion as if to anchor the moment, gaze softening despite himself with an almost-smile ghosting his mouth.

His reply ; low and honest, “No. Just careful with where you spend your hope, darling.”

@doubleodiamond A brow raised heavenwards with a palm resting right upon her lower-back, comes the charming grin. Almost boyish, if one could pay a little bit more attention to it.

@doubleodiamond “She’s a great company for you when I’m away, is she not?” A 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑔 kiss, thoughts condensed into one 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 moment.
