REMI

A deeper blush creeps across Remi’s cheeks at that, dimples settling in as his smile slows into something softer, more awed. "Gods," he murmurs under his breath, the word carrying wonder rather than anything reverent. The idea takes root easily—her daughter and his child, growing up side by side, tangled in sand and sunlight and shared mischief—and it leaves him looking almost boyish as he lifts his gaze back to her. "I hope so," he adds quietly. After everything, it feels like a kindness the world might still allow.

He lets the talk of rings drift away without resistance, nodding once in easy acceptance, and reaches for his glass to finish the last of his iced tea with a contented sigh. "I will absolutely let you know," he says warmly at her offer, already half-smiling at the thought of Torchline comforts finding their way east.

Pushing his chair back, Remi rises and extends a hand toward her. "If you are feeling up to it," he asks gently, eyes bright with easy affection, "might I tempt you with a walk along the beach?"
