Henry returned the kiss happily, though it took him a moment to adjust. Gabriella was a bit taller, a bit fuller in form and most certainly more enthusiastic when it came to this particular physical greeting. None of those thoughts, though, were in any way a complaint about their new situation. Letting his hands settle on Gabriella's waist, he kept her close and smiled at her words.
"And I missed you," replied Henry. "Although, I'm sure I don't look quite the way I did the last time you saw me."
Taking Gabriella by the hand, he led her toward the couch. "I'm sure you have questions. I'll do my best to answer them all." Noting the wine bottle and glasses out, Henry poured himself a glass and freshened Gabriella's, recalling how much she had enjoyed it.
