"I think the timing was just right, Leckie." It felt right, the moment, especially with his memories back, she knew the love behind it was even deeper than before. "I mean, I know we're supposed to wait until we're--" Married, but she didn't say that, she didn't want to make him feel pressured, not after such a night. "Well, longer but... I'm glad we didn't."

"As little?" she laughs, breathlessly, shaking her head as she leans up to kiss him once more. "I'm pretty sure even if it hurts a bit every time, I want this more than 'as little'." In the end it felt too good not to want to do it again. And she hoped that wasn't too bold to say aloud but she was finding herself feeling more comfortable with saying things like that with him even if she knew she was supposed to be more bashful or demure.
