You took me ice skating!” Flora grinned, clapping her hands. “Oh, I’ve been so busy this winter I haven’t had time to go. Tharin, that was perfect.” On tiptoes she placed a kiss to Tharin’s cheek. “Thank you for a wonderful time.” It would be a night she would remember forever. The two of them gliding hand-in-hand across the ice, as if they were the only ones in the world. Drinking hot chocolate and eating hamburgers like teenagers without a care. Flora never wanted this night to end. “I can’t remember when I’ve had so much fun,” Tharin confessed. “The last time I was on the ice must have been well over a hundred years ago. I forgot how much I enjoyed it.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead. Flora enjoyed the way she fit into his side. It made her wonder, not for the first time, how well their bodies would fit together when they finally made love. Walking back to the secluded tree in the parking lot where they had phased in, Flora reveled in the heat Tharin’s body provided, cocooned safe under his arm.
