That was another thing, his own eyes were so lovely. In the right light they were a beautiful gold color. But just now they were warm caramel. His body relaxed, his arms swept her up, and his face lowered to hers... Just as she'd desired. 

She kissed him warmly, closing her eyes. Her arms closed around his neck and before he pulled away she stood on her tiptoes to get closer, sinking back down as he pulled away. Their lips parted as softly as they'd met but his face stayed close. For a few seconds, they exchanged breaths. 

Then Ferona found her hand in his and Berek turning shy. He didn't finish his statement but she suddenly clued in to what he meant. Not just that he was glad to have her here... But would she /stay/ here, with him? He'd been getting at it all day, she realized. It scared her a little. For how long? Forever? She wanted to pull away. But that was the fear talking! What she really wanted to do WAS stay, just like this. She had no real plans of leaving. 

"I--" she nodded, trying to look more certain than she felt. She squeezed his hand and his shoulder. "I'm glad to be here with you, too." That much was true.
