Melinoe does not expect his arms to slide around her shoulders so easily, even after the brief hesitation. Why should she be so surprised by this? Every other thing about the past half-hour (her best guess, give or take some minutes) had been entirely unexpected, so how does this moment differ from the rest?
Because you fit so easily here.
You shouldn’t, but you do.
Makaria is almost certainly better for him, isn’t she?
“Dinner,” she repeats in a soft murmur, turning her face so that she might press her lips to his bare chest, if only briefly enough to try and rid her mindspeak of the doubt that creeps in almost seamlessly, and she tries ever so hard to keep the rest of her thoughts concentrated on him. “Yes, of course. Where should we have our meal?” Melinoe’s blue gaze lifts to meet that of Phonos, wondering yet again how they found themselves in such a state: Excited beyond measure as they hold onto each other for what seems like dear life, and equally terrified of the entire thing. The where does not necessarily matter so much, but the discussion does. The lack of too much distraction may be beneficial in this circumstance.
