When at last they broke apart, the air around them was different Charged. It was unlike it typically was, though. This time. This time it felt safe Warm, even
The walk to Kylan's car was silent and comfortable, and when she sat on the passenger seat of his Bentley, he pressed a few buttons on the dash and the seat beneath she warmed at once.
He had turned on her seat warmer, and for whatever reason, that solidified how she was already feeling
"Kylan" she paused, watching him fiddle with his radio until he found the song he wanted. Soft, familiar jazz filled the space around she, and she couldn't help but smile. He was just.. Kylan. A complicated, broken man that she loved. That she wanted to be close to. To know
"Yes, Kate?" Kylan pulled away from the valet after nodding his head in thanks and she eyed his side profile in the moonlight while he drove away from the hotel.
She squared her shoulders and steeled her resolve to ask the question waiting on the tip of her tongue. "How are you feeling about Intimacy' (just mean. If you wanted to. I don't. Well I don't have to go home right now. We could.. We could spend time playing chess, or watching a movie, or cooking a late-night snack." She was rambling, but her jaw felt slack and incapable of closing. She was seared, Vulnerable, even, to be asking something like this
Kylan was quiet for a moment too long, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking in the near darkness. She wondered if she royally f*cked up her hear thundering and her palms sweaty in her lap

"I feel Fine, with intimacy" Kylan's words were slow, calculated, and precise. She didn't dare look at him. "I feel. Fine, if it's with you." She heard Kylan move his hand across the center console, his fingers quietly finding the bracelet on her wrist and then resting there. "How do you feel about croissants and tea at one in the morning""
She smiled at him then, blinking away a few tears that nearly fell from her eyes. "I feel like those are the perfect snack to indulge in at one in the morning." Her voice was shaking with the sheer amount of emotion that filled her, but she allowed it to peak through, just as she had throughout the night.
"Alright, then," Kylan took hold of her hand and didn't let go for the remainder of the car ride.

It was nearly two o'clock by the time the croissants were done in the oven, because Rylan was particular with his cooking process. He was clean, meticulously so. He even made Katrina wear an apron and tie back her hair, to which the didn't protest. id discard the jacket.
She felt a bit silly, maneuvering around his kitchen in her formal gown. Kylan also stayed in his suit, though he did
She was a hilarious pair while she washed each dish she used to make the croissants and tea. She worked well in tandem with one another, and it made a near permanent smile form on her face.
"I still don't understand how you can drink tea without any kind of sweetener," she admitted while she dried the last dish and Kylan stirred either of her cups of tea.
She watched him shake his head and raise his eyebrows at her. "The right tea doesn't need sweetener, Kate. It only takes away from the natural essence. He eyed the tea in question with an almost holiness and she laughed at him.
"I'll try it your way, just this once," she relented, wiping her hands on the cotton fabric of her apron. She joined him at the counter, resting an elbow next to her cup of tea.
Kylan pushed a small plate with a croissant her way. "Raspberry jam is acceptable for your croissant, though." He gestured to a small jar of jam near ber, and she nodded her head.

"You should try a drink of your sea before you take a bite of your croissant, or the sweetness from the farm will cloud your tastebuds." Kylan sounded serious, incredibly so.
