The two of us, all night. That doesn’t sound like such a bad plan...and thankfully I keep plenty of provisions here.

[ Bottled water and assorted protein bars count, don’t they? The idea to have a store away bed or cot is an idea for the future; being there with Kara is enough alone. A lesson already learned; a bittersweet ache might take place once she has to leave, no time soon, but dwelling on that has no purpose. Here and now; everything else can, and would, wait. Color returning to his lips, both from warmth and the kisses, a smile appears, genuine, the kind that reaches his eyes ]

I didn’t end up freezing….there’s nowhere I need to be, and I’m in the company of the only person I want to be around right now. Happiness is a guarantee.

[ Having Kara settling against him feels natural; the times he’s been able to hold her like this, they seem to last an eternity. When silence isn’t uncomfortable. He hadn’t taken so much comfort in the sound of someone’s breathing before. Keeping their fingers interlocked, his eyes close, a look of peace working into his expression ]

Do you have a favorite place back home? Somewhere just for you?
