AMALIA

Amalia continues to look over the book, utterly entranced by the beautiful design, the craftsmanship wrought with magic and love. Long fingers trace the pictures, the thread, turn the pages and look within- and all the while she drifts nearer to him, until her back is against his chest, her weight divested against his support while her attention remains on the marvelous gift. For a few moments they remain like this, quiet and content, the girl enraptured, her heart full with ardor. She thinks it might be nice to stay in this time, crystallized beneath the aubergine sky, three souls neatly intertwined, safe from the turmoils of a bitter world. watching stars collide
Eventually she pulls away, taking his hand back in hers, the gift tucked safely within her basket, stashed among the rest of the bread. Rising onto pointed toes, Amalia brings her lips to his face, a gentle kiss placed upon his cheek before her attention returns to the rest of the world. "Shall we go join the others?" she asks him softly, dark eyes warm as they take in his expression, fingers lacing against his palm as she turns, looking through the blankets for a familiar face.
