I'd still know you, not being shown you, I only need the working of my hands
For a moment Everest looked entirely his age, a boy of 23 who had never experienced heartbreak, who had fallen in love with the first woman he'd ever kissed, and whose stomach was so filled with butterflies he'd nearly begun to float. "Well, that's that, then." He agrees, stupidly perhaps, but with his smile running away with him, it was the best he could coerce his lips into saying.
"I thought perhaps first we'd go for some food. There is a tapas bar near the center of the square." He explains as they walk. Though Ever would have liked to look over his shoulder at Isla every few seconds, instead he kept his stare fixed on the ground before them to ensure they didn't wander over any black ice or patches of snow. "They serve really excellent platters of meats, cheeses, and fruits. Then, because one's body temperature tends to drop as they're digesting food, I thought we'd go to the Eye of the Storm. I checked, and the air temperature is nearly 20 degrees above the pools because of the water." If it was possible for Everest to have attached a thermometer to Isla and monitored her all evening, he would have. Alas.
"Does that sound alright, to start?"
