âAwh its not that early. Didnât you sleep well?â she asked, picking back up her mug and turning to lean against the counter while sipping it, watching him move about and curiously listening to him sum up his day. His job was at times much more demanding than hers, and yet they always managed to find time for each other. Which felt even more important to ensure nowâa days. Eliza couldnât imagine going a whole day without seeing him only once in the morning. âIâd love to do lunch. Its such a good excuse for me to get out of the house. Six isnât too bad. I have some ah, ritual proceedings to do at twilight but I should be done by seven at the latest. Maybe we could do something positively modern? Watch a movie after dinner, make some popcorn?â Lately sheâd ben suggesting a lot of at home date nights, wanting to have him all to herself.Â
âI slept very well thanks to you.â Have her near him, her scent, keeping him calm while he slept was such a relief after the decades without her. And now standing here, getting coffee or tea or breakfast, whatever it may be, and talking about dates was something he was glad to be doing. âGreat lunch it is, I can come grab you from work and we can go out.â Hearing her talking about rituals made him smile and kiss her head. âThatâs fine. You do your magic spells and Iâll be getting dinner ready for when you finish. I do like movie and popcorn. What shall we watch?â
