There was, to even his own surprise, no smugness in it. It was just... warm. Sweet. Nice.]
[He smiled at her, not his usual smirk or grin but something rather softer around the edges, and for a couple of moments, as they walked, he was silent. For once, silence didn't feel like it needed filling. It just felt like more space to soak up the moment.]
