Adrian had been left confused and concerned by Alicia's note asking him to look at houses with her, but she had agreed to come over to talk over dinner. He'd set aside his work early to tidy the apartment and made a simple meal of ziti and chicken scampi. Once it was finished, he'd set a bottle of white Elvish wine to chill and poured himself a small glass of whiskey to settle his nerves while waited.

”Shh,” Alicia shushed gently, touching her finger to Adrian’s lips. “I’ll be keeping the house, but not as a back-up, because I’m not saying yes just to think it might fail. I’m saying yes, because I love you and because I believe we can make it work.” It was just that right now, the logistics of it wasn’t clear to her, but that would all be sorted out during the planning that would come later.

“I hadn’t set a date for when, just… when I found the right place,” she assured him. “And I haven’t a clue what Isla and Liam will say, but I will talk to them, listen to them, and let them weigh in on this, too. However…” Her smile warmed and she gave his hands a gentle squeeze. “They adore you and they already love it here. It’s not like the yard back in Kensington is huge. There’s the park here, and they can still go to both the Spinnets and the Fawleys from here. Just like from the house.”

Adrian smiled again and leaned in to kiss her, tender at first and then more insistent, feeling delighted and warmed and... so friggin' happy he could have danced, shouting, on the roof of the building if asked.

"I suppose I'll start by spending my weekend cleaning out the storage on the first floor. I might as well make use of the space and finally move my potions work down there. Sort of like I should have done when this gorgeous blond came storming over to tell me I was stinking up her office," he grinned.

Alicia chuckled into the kiss, a chuckle that turned into a soft hum as the kiss grew insistent. She loved this, loved seeing Adrian this happy, loved feeling this happy. For once, though, she did listen to the more rational part of herself that told her to look past the rush of delight and joy, to not be blinded by this. But even when she did that, there wasn’t that tightness that came from making a decision she wasn’t completely certain about. Hell, she’d felt more uncertain about buying a pair of shoes than she did about this, and that had her smiling even brighter.

“Gods, she was such a bitch, but she was right,” Alicia grinned back at Adrian, and gently nudged her nose against his. “And she’d be happy to help you with the cleaning if you need it.”

Shaking his head he said, "No, this is a project I should have done ages ago. You've got school starting now and the kids and now all of this to think about, too. I'll do the cleaning and movie. Plus, if the twins wanted to help we'd have to tell them no just for safety and I'd hate to have to do that." He stood back up and moved back to his space at the table.

"We should eat," he said, still feeling nearly giddy. He took a drink of his wine, and thought, "You know, I'll have more space down there, I might even be able to do more, and if the kids wanted to start learning basic potions work, they could have their own space down there, too." The more he thought of it, the more he realized he should have thought of moving his space down there ages ago.
