Her brows inclined upward at the mention of wine, granting a light laugh as he unveiled it properly. She took the offered glass quickly, clinking it against his in a little toast. “Ah, then it truly is perfect now,” and she sipped away, hovering over more of the savory bits and pieces, tidbits and morsels, opting to crunch down on some almonds and cranberries as he made another announcement.
Though, this time, instead of something stressful or wearing, her grin was buoyant and radiant again, for she’d been thinking of it too, in between the way life had swayed and swerved. “Goodness, time flies,” making no mention of the heartaches in between. It had been a grueling tide of a year when it shouldn’t have been – but they could make the most of it. Her certainty always prevailed in the eyes of storms. “I’ve been thinking…,” to which she wrinkled her nose, and then swung her eyes back in his direction. “What if we just went away for a couple days to celebrate? I can probably get someone to cover for a night or so.” Anywhere Zavien would like to go – places without haunting memories or traumatic events or Family debacles hovering in the midst.
