He's a little distracted himself, once more caught up in the ocean of blue that is her eyes. Those eyes that literally saved her, an entire lifetime ago.
Her smiles at him are praise enough, and he finds it an odd sort of thought that his happiness has become so easily entwined with hers, the simple joys of doing things together, giving to each other. Her happiness is now his, the most important mission he's ever undertaken.
She's radiant as she smiles at him, silhouetted by the glow of the lights shining behind her, catching her hair in golden highlights as it frames her. The almost irresistible urge to kiss her overtakes him, the desire to claim her for himself. Almost, almost, but he forces himself to concentrate on their surroundings and what she's saying. Because this is nice, too. This is enough. She's lovely and funny and looks almost at peace with herself, and he would not change anything about this moment, capturing the memory and holding it close to his chest.
"In that case, maybe I'll go ahead and try," and while Connor's own smile is equally teasing, there might be an undercurrent of something else in his upturned lips- that soon quirk down into a wryly twisted frown. "Yes to coming here more, and a definite no to a sparkly skating outfit. Show me the specs on the efficiency of the aerodynamic attributes and I won't change my mind."
