Daphne's eyes opened slightly and she set down the letter and her lips curled into a smile. She walked up to Draco and put her arms at his shoulders, "Darling, I am so sorry," she said, "I would never wish to give you that impression. Not even in passing," she promised. As if to cement her thoughts on the matter, she leaned forward and let her lips brush his lightly.
"Actually," she spoke against him. "I feel incredibly grateful that I was given someone so caring and attentive." She tilted her head just a little, "Perhaps there is a way I might thank your mother and show her my appreciation...with your approval. Maybe you can let me know what she would most appreciate?"
