Peace in the Thunder
None
Curling his body into her, Rene’s brow rose, [color=#44b8ff]“My dear, there will be plenty of wine. Shall we move back into the kitchen? Let me fix us something light, yes?”[/color] He’d offer her a look and then impishly his brow wiggled.[color=#44b8ff] “Ah, yes, but first. I must do something.”[/color] The smile flashed wickedly while he took one of her hands to plant a soft kiss along her knuckles before turning and drawing her face towards him with the hand at her cheek. His kiss was soft, lingering and slow, but he refrained from falling completely under the spell of her lips against his. There would be plenty of time to become reacquainted fully.

Pulling away only to rest his forehead against hers, Rene sighed.[color=#44b8ff] “I have missed you terribly.”[/color] He could see his own eyes reflected in hers and he’d grin a moment, taking her in. He’d plant a heavy, but brief kiss to her forehead and then move to stand, taking her still trapped hand with him.[color=#44b8ff] “Come, show me what delights you and your cousin have left me to work with. I will cook, you can taste and feed me wine while I do so.” [/color]Perhaps because recipes were like equations, just with added steps and a flair for the dramatic was what attracted him to the “demeaning” task of cooking for oneself.

Rene found it soothing, an all consuming task that could distract him, rethink problems while focused on the presentation of his dishes. His housekeeper, much to her relief, had not, for some time, found him turning her kitchen into a rogue food laboratory though, but Rene didn’t require help navigating a kitchen. Once she was on her feet, he’d guide her back through the house, picking up the glasses and open wine on the way. His hand would play with hers, leading her to a chair but in a way that would cause her to turn in a spin before landing gently.
