It was nice to finally get things underway with the move. Sure, they had picked a Friday to do it, but it was also a better plan to have a three day weekend and using it to get things moved than try to fit it all into two days. Plus, with as much stuff as Daphne had, it would take her two out of three days just to unpack it, probably more to put everything up. She really needed to downsize, but the truth was, she didn't want to. Out side she heard the yipping bark of Quibbler and rolled her eyes as she plopped down onto the sofa. The whole drawing room was a mess, everything was surrounded by boxes and bags and shelves and things hovered for a lack of places to be set. It was a bloody mess.

Daphne felt buried as she sprawled out on the couch for a moment to rest. She had a glass of iced tea some place, though she couldn't remember where. There was a flutter of wings and she peered over at the owl sitting on top of a book case. Early birthday present/late wedding gift for Harry. She didn't know if he had one or not, but she figured they could make due with one eventually. It sat on top of the book case and blinked pridefully at Daphne. She had purchased it in an excursion earlier in the day and had to hide it from Harry. Now was as good as a time as any to reveal the gift, though she actually didn't have the slightest idea to where he was. No worries, he was probably surrounded by a sea of nothing just as she was. And the unfortunate part was that she hadn't even made it to her bedroom to put things away. Idly, she hoped her closets would be big enough.

Sighing, she shut her eyes and yawned. It was only noon and she was exhausted. Luckily they had magic to do all the real work.

She wasn't normally one of the nervous types. Daphne always had a lot of confidence in everything she did, but since she had really only been in one relationship and never had the chance to admit something like that, she didn't know the proper way to do it. Perhaps being so blunt wasn't the right way, but he needed to know. She figured in time, or at least she hoped, he'd find a way to feel the same, but even if he didn't, at least she knew that there'd always be something she felt toward him throughout the duration of their marriage.

An awkward wave of nervousness hit her and she got goosebumps, regardless of how hot it was outside, coming in through the open windows. A part of her was glad he didn't say anything right away. That at least meant he was somewhere between loving her and despising her. That was always a good place to be. When she heard he wanted to be the one she loved, Daphne smiled slightly, and closed her eyes contently, letting their body language make up for the lack of words. She buried her face into his shoulder as he did previously and smiled to herself. "You will be."

Harry let out a relieved breathe. It was obvious that those had been the right words. He had never been very good at expressing his feelings, preferring to keep them tucked away. In the current moment that course of action was no longer available. As he had said before, they were in this together, which meant every aspect.

When she shifted closer to him, his arms tightened slightly around her, keeping her there. This entire situation was constantly moving around them. It was complete chaos in all honesty, but despite what he had said about chaos, he was quite glad to have something solid in the midst of it all.
