And she did know. If either of them had wanted to be anywhere else in the world, they would be. They wouldn't stay where they were uncomfortable. That just wasn't how they worked.
Her smile couldn't have been happier if she'd wanted it to be. She did want to kiss him again, but she wasn't sure if that would be acceptable or not, especially with propriety still staring them in the face. So instead, she reached up to simply place a hand against his cheek, doing her best not to brush his beard the wrong way.
It was perfect. Too perfect. For the moment, she didn't care. She was just happy to have this chance with him at all.
