[ Mission accomplished, essentially. She's glad he closed the door; doesn't even look up at him when her eyes finally open, lashes still low as she completely and selfishly takes in the cocoa experience. Thick, velvety, and he did a good job stirring it in; everything's melted perfectly. ]

Here's a little pat on the mattress in invitation. ]
