look at everything you've overcome - don't give up now
It has been a very long time, if ever, since Vai has enjoyed such simple and warm affection, and she leans into Zeph's embrace as the water showers over them. Letting out a long and content sigh, her me too doesn't really need to be spoken, and she tilts her head to rest against his for a moment, simply enjoying the touch and heat of this stolen time together. Because it certainly feels like stolen time.
"Now you," she murmurs after a while, stealing the washcloth and turning in his arms to capture his lips in a soft kiss. Vai returns the favour, working the cloth in slow circles to clear away the sand and salt from his adventures on the ocean. Best she do it now, because in just a few minutes, she's got a feeling they'll both be asleep where they stand.
She doesn't mind, though.
