Frederic smiled softly and brushed his thumb ever-so-gently over her cheek. "I wouldn't think of it." He leaned in for another kiss, a tender one, and when he pulled back after a long moment, his gaze was reassured and loving. He knew there were logistical things to figure out about this, but for the time being, he just wanted to remain here, in this sweet moment, with her and ignore the rest of the world. In a surprisingly lucky turn of events, Karen had her nightmare in the middle of the day, meaning Clover wouldn't get out of school for about another two hours from now. They had time just to be there, with each other, and Frederic was glad of that.
