"What you deserve doesn't matter," Flora murmurs with a tentatively mischievous tilt of her head, her voice low and laced with affection. For a long moment, she remains still, or rather stiff given that Jack's using her as a writing pad.
As he offers the square to her, Flora's breath catches softly in the back of her throat as the bitter undercurrent in her thoughts suddenly recedes, revealing iridescent sunlit waves beneath an impossibly blue sky. "I'm glad you signed your name," she teases softly, her voice pitched a touch higher than normal given the smile she's trying (and failing) to contain. "Otherwise, I'd never be able to tell it apart from all the other confessions of love I've been given."
Biting at her bottom lip to try and pin in place the rapidly expanding scream of delight building in the back of her throat, Flora curls herself forward to brush her nose against Jack's once more. "Guess this is another secret of yours I have to keep, huh?" And before he can ask what she means, Flora leans down to kiss him again. About what a sweet man you can be.
