Claudia and Cosima
"Not nearly as exquisite as you, my love," she said, offering Claudia a small smile. She leaned in and kissed her softly. She couldn't help herself, she thought Claudia was absolutely beautiful. She found herself to be lucky indeed, to have found someone as beautiful and wonderful as Claudia.
"It really is," she said. "It's wonderful, seeing everyone going all out for tonight."
She reached for Claudia's hand, and squeezed lightly.
