For a moment, she relishes the closeness of her husband. Head pressed to his shoulder, arms linked around him and taking in everything about him.
His offer almost makes her laugh, her expression exuberant when she pulls back to look at him. Undine knew coming into this not to expect the normal activities that come with most relationships. There will be no dinner dates, where they can share a glass of wine and eat together. She knew that going in, though, and had already come to accept the alternatives to how this would go. And she has been plenty happy with it so far.
"I would love that." She goes to take his good hand in an affectionate gesture, her eyes bright when she tilts her chin at him. "I could use some air to catch my breath, seeing that you have taken it so suddenly."
