It had felt strange yet satisfying, an combination Hallie never really knew how to take. After all the angst, the bitterness, the hostility that she'd held towards Theodore now she realised her feelings had always remained there. Deep down. Hallie had been angry, annoyed, defensive when she'd spoke out before but then she'd concluded on a stronger end. Requesting firewhiskey had been an outburst, her own personality shining through. It was a cocktail of trivia and irritation.
Whatever had happened between the two must have been a work of magic. They had spoken once, perhaps twice, in the past month and here Hallie was being suddenly joked to and sweeped from her seat after awkward conversation. A part of her wanted to shout, demand he put her back down and allow her to fend for herself and use her leg but the warmth and comfort that radiated from her husband was too disarming. Instead Hallie tilted her head and sunk deep into Theodore whilst he carried her. It was a warmth she'd missed, something she hadn't had in fact Hallie was unsure whether the pair had been this physically close.
The kiss was magical. She'd felt the kiss before, a casual simply peck on the forehead but for the first time Hallie truly felt emotion flooding from his lips. A drop of Theodore on her skin was a marshmallow dipped in chocolate. Sweetly devine. It was confusing yet Hallie didn't care, she didn't try to work things out in her head, she didn't debate about how her mood and thoughts to Theodore had suddenly changed. Her Father had always told her to talk about her problems, don't bottle them in, if you have something to say then say it and say it loud. That evening her Father had returned to Hallie, he'd guided her and gave her the courage to tell Theodore how she felt. Her Father had been right.
Smiling Hallie accepted the glass of firewhiskey, although she didn't take hold. Her fingers locked tightly over Theodore's grasp of the glass and with that she pulled him down to her so close their eyes were only thing they could see. His chocolate, warm eyes Hallie yearned to fall into. It was those eyes she wanted, right now, to fall asleep and wake up to, those eyes were the eyes she didn't want to see vanish.
Then it came. It was extraordinary, breathtaking. A kiss to passionate, so full of optimism and electricity Hallie didn't want to come up for air. The blond would have happily died right here, right now, feeling nothing but the kiss that she gave to Theodore.
