deep blue, but you painted me golden

Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey

With dinner complete and dessert collected, the couple made their way back to the front of the restaurant, where Soh collected her bag and her raincoat. Her heart beat a staccato rhythm in her chest as she realized once more that this was real, that Zavien was her boyfriend, that he really cared for her enough to want to spend more time with her. How lucky was she?

Her smile was similarly bright as she nodded. "Ready!" Folding her raincoat over one arm, she stepped out into the chilly night air, pausing just long enough to reach for Zavien's hand before continuing on down the street. The clouds that had seemed so prevalent before had parted, revealing a beautiful, starry sky high above them. It felt like a good omen, like the rain had finally parted in Soh's life and she was finally on the right track to happiness.

As soon as they began walking, Anani took to the air, chiming a playful call to Sol as she soared towards Zavien's home. Soh watched her affectionately, shaking her head at the cloud wyrm's antics. "So, which dessert are you more excited about?" she asked, turning her attention back to Zavien. "I mean, I'm sure they're both delicious, but I have to say the chocolate cake is calling me."

Green eyes and a head of gold
I'll give you two dollars if you save my soul
