She's so thrilled that all his worries seem silly in hindsight. He smiles into the touch at his hair, closing his eyes until she's kissing him again. "You're well on your way," he assures her in the space she gives him to breathe. "And we have all the time in the world."
His heart flutters at that, at her admission that she treasures a life with him, and he cups her face, looking her over breathlessly. "I -- Do you --" He sighs, laughing at himself as he presses their foreheads together. "You make me tongue tied sometimes, you know that?" He kisses her again before he says, "You are a wonderful fake wife, but I'd like you to be my real partner, in whatever ways you're comfortable with. You don't need to decide tonight. I just -- regretted not being honest with you."
