The rumbling of his voice reverberated within her body. He was changing the subject and for now, she would have to accept that. If it was what he was needed, she would give it to him. "Hmm," she smiled, pulling back slightly, she had hoped to keep the surprise she had for him secret until she had to leave for home. Back to New York to convene with Lucius before heading off to another book tour again. "I did and I actually got something for you." Leaning forward, she placed a small kiss on his cheek. "Let me go get it." Her hands took his into hers and gently pulled them off of her. "I'll let right back." Standing up, she pulled her dress down to keep from falling over as it had pooled onto her upper thighs.

As she made her way back to the kitchen she kept talking. "I saw this jewelry maker when I got groceries last week and loved their stuff. So I commissioned them to make us something." Looking through the bag she found the box and with a wide smile made her way back over to him, pulling up the bottom of her dress again to take her seat back on his lap, while she held out the box with her other hand for him to take as she settled her knees on either side of his lap again.

He took a moment to truly bask in the comfort she provided, the gentle humming and the weight of her against his chest and on his lap. "What did you get at the market, anything nice for yourself?" He'd do anything not to have the attention on himself for a short while. "They usually have those jewellery stands, yeah? Did they have anything you liked?" His arms tighened around her to help brace her on his lap while he shuffled into leaning back into the couch. It helped him to pull back from hiding in her neck and observe her properly, perhaps without looking like a lost dog. He'd find a time to tell her, to sit down and explain it all.
