Still, he said nothing. Before Meerkat's thoughts could really begin to swirl, he bent toward her, pressing his dark heat against her own, paler warmth. For whatever reason, this simple touch alleviated the trepidation that had begun welling inside her.

Actions spoke louder anyway, so this embrace—not to mention this entire romantic setup—said a lot. And the more she clung to him and reflected on it, she wondered if she hadn't rendered him speechless, which was kind of flattering.

The magic of the night restored, she slipped away only after a good, long while to say, "Let's eat some of this food before it gets buried." She laughed, making a point to catch Atlas's eye and press her nose to his cheek before her attention drifted to the wintry picnic.
