It's a conscious effort not to phase into the bed right there.
That would kinda give the wrong message, and she's sure of it.
So Kate stays solid, and a little still, and is very aware of the touch of his fingers on her skin.
Every little girl dreams of being proposed to, she thinks.
She's already been through it once.
And in some ways she feels like she should know what to say, like yes, of course makes sense and should be the only words coming out of her mouth, but.
But.
But the ending's only for fairy tales, and she has him here and now, and it's good. It makes her happy. She likes this, like Piotr the love.
And she knows she has his heart forever
(but what about Zsaji?)
and he has hers.
And that's good. And that's enough.
(she's scared of divorce, just like her daddy and mommy)
And she hates rings.
(Edmund must still have the one he bought her, in his Lion's land.)
Kate realizes, vaguely, that she hasn't actually said anything.
That should probably change.
And so she opens her mouth, and shuts it, and then leans over to kiss Piotr's mouth softly, one hand cupping his cheek.
And then she whispers, "Maybe. I don't know. I just--I don't know. I'm sorry. Let me think about it?"
