[ Neither of them is any under illusions that this is going to look anything like a traditional marriage; she'd been adamant from the beginning that she wasn't about to change her name, and no one was more surprised about that than she was. As complicated as her relationship with being an Earp has been throughout her entire life, as reluctant as she was to ever come back to Purgatory in the first place knowing what it would likely mean as soon as she set foot in Ghost River Triangle territory, she's come around to a weird acceptance about it now — and this curse is hers to break so that the daughter she's kept safe and sound away from this town, whereabouts unknown, will never have to inherit it.
Maybe she's indicated as much to Klaus before, in those moments when she's half in the bottle and feeling a weird need to be vulnerable before finally shoving it all down to climb on top of him instead. Maybe she knows how much he gets it, being separated from a daughter he clearly wants to protect. Maybe that part of her had finally been the one that had agreed to this whole marriage deal because out of everyone in his damn family, they're the ones that actually have the most in common after all.
She rolls her eyes good-naturedly, but it means she isn't paying attention and the slip of his finger beneath her chin, the light sweep of his thumb over her cheek, catches her off-guard and her soft intake of breath only precedes him gently cupping her face between both hands before she has the ability to fully prepare herself for it. Yeah, she doesn't really need the reminder of how good they are when it comes to that but she's not exactly complaining about the way he's initiating it, gaze dropping down between them rather than meeting his right away, even as a smile quirks up one side of her mouth. ] Oh, yeah? You know, I don't see any of them around right now.
