Lavender smiled warmly. It gave her a chill when Malachi kissed her hand. She wanted him to stay like this all day. Touching her, being close to her. She loved the affection he was showing her now and did appreciate how hard it must be for him. She doubted he'd be like this in public, but she'd understand it. This was enough for her for the time being.
"Okay. I'll go get changed into something warmer." She squeezed his hand before reluctantly moving away and leaving the room.
