Make the most out of no time

Remi, to Sam's utter delight, came to him to arrange a second date. He didn't have to push or remind him, didn't have to force himself into the Alchemist's thoughts. It appeared he was already in them, at least enough that Remi wanted to see him again. His whole day passed easily when he had such a wonderful plan for the evening. The customers he did have noticed he was airier, moved lighter; when asked what the occasion was he just smiled and said it was a secret. Finally it was time to go. He'd popped home to get a hat and some gloves (now actually suited for the weather) and a warm scarf. Sam had never been vain, but now he spent time looking at himself in the reflection of his shop's window, turning this way and that. The heavy wool made him look a bit...blobby, but he supposed his face was still striking in the right lights. Perhaps if Remi came back home with him and they removed the coats...he smiled and shook his head. This was not a thing to rush. "Coming!" He yelled, pulling on his gloves as he opened the door. When he did and saw Remi he hesitated for just a second before reaching forward to hug him. It was only quick, but it was a bold move for Sam and he felt particularly brave afterwards. "So...w-where are we going? Have you got a plan?" Samuel Another little "nothing ever after", nothing more? And lo, but no! What bliss Another jolly jaunt through the abyss
