we could stay in this moment for the rest of our lives

I wanna break every clock
The hands of time could never move again

Sol took off after the speaking squirrels, leaving Anani and Soh to protect the children. But without the little gold dragon, Anani promptly took flight herself, and Soh was too busy laughing to do much more than watch as Zavien waged his tickle war on the kids. Before she could shift back and sit on his chest herself, this time to allow the children to try and tickle him back, an older woman down the street called the kids away. Soh watched them go, a soft smile on her face.

But then her gaze slid to Zavien and melted completely. Uncaring about the dirt, she scooted off his legs and leaned towards him, wrapping an arm around his neck. "I couldn't wait," she said as she hugged him, joy and affection overflowing. "And now I'm really glad I got here in time to be a part of that." Releasing him, her eyes flicked towards the retreating kids and back.

Tilting her head, she leaned back on her hands. She'd never really considered children beyond a passing fancy, a someday, maybe that she'd never followed the trail of, seeing as she'd never had someone to share her life with before now. "You're really good with them," she commented. That feeling was back: a little flutter in her chest, like falling in love with him all over again.

We could stay in this moment
For the rest of our lives
