New York, spa visit continued

[hawkeyekate]

Up in their room, she kissed him back, and remarked, "Well, a place like this is still limited to those who can afford it. Though there's salons of all kinds of prices for people."

She then went to discard her robe and started to change into her dress.

"I know, which is great, trust me. And you've been patient."

She sighed, stirring her tea around some more in the glass, "It's kind of like how you are with your wrists. Only it's my mind right now. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense but that's what it's like."

[will_scarlett]

"Nay, does, love. 'ardest wounds to 'eal are the ones ye canna see."

He reaches out to take her hand that's not stirring the tea and rubs his thumb over the ring.

"Take the longest too," She weakly laughed as her eyes met his again. Her other hand shifted around to clasped his hand.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, but ye're na alone when goin' through it an I plan on bein' there for whate'er ye need, love."

"I know, but..." She trailed off when their appetizer arrived, with a couple of plates to divvy it up between them.

"Enjoy," the waiter said after checking their drinks, and walked away again.

[will_scarlett]

He squeezes her hand again,

"I do know, love, please know that."

Kate nodded, and added, "I know, Will. Sometime after all this break, I'm going to stay here for a while. School will be starting up again in another month or so, and try to get back into regular patrols again."

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye, course an I'll be back in Sherwood. Just find the way through the dark is all."

He slowly starts eating the appetizer, keeping enough for her on the plate.

She squeezed his hand back, "Right, but we both still have our duties. Been putting them off too long as it is, and need to get back to living our lives again. Have too many counting on us."

Kate then started to eat some of her eggplant dish slowly.

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, an we've each other to keep from doin' more than is good for us. I love ye so, Kate."

He lifts up her hand and kisses the palm before eating more, he loves her so much it hurts at times.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"We do, and I love you Will." She smiled back, and then focused on the appetizer again to finish it with a swallow of tea to wash it down.

[will_scarlett]

The table is small enough that after eating, he can move around it slightly to kiss her on the lips,

"We'll find out way through the dark."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"We will," She agreed, "Just need to find some flashlights."

Their dinner soon after arrived, and then there was quiet and light conversation as they ate.

[will_scarlett]

When they finish, he asks for a dessert menu and kisses her hand once more,

"Looks they've one with fresh peaches, sounds good. An then, just bein' with ye, me turn to pamper ye."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Want to get two or split it? And uh-huh, can check out the whirlpool then."

[will_scarlett]

"Depends 'ow much ye want an aye would like that."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"Just a little, you'd be eating most of it."

[will_scarlett]

"Then we'll get one to share."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She smiled, "All right." When the waiter returned, he turned to Will.

"Have you decided?"

[will_scarlett]

"Aye, we'd like the berry dessert with two spoons."

The waiter nods and heads off as Will rubs his thumb on Kate's hand again.

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She met his eyes again, and smiled.

"It'll get better."

[will_scarlett]

The dessert is brought and its piled high with fresh made cream and Will takes a forkful and offers it to Kate,

"Oh aye, will."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

She slowly ate and licked the offering of cream and berry off of the fork with a playful glint in her blue eyes.

[will_scarlett]

So he leans over to kiss her and get the last bits of cream off her lips,

"Mmm, love ye an ye taste good."

[nothawkingbird.livejournal.com]

"So do you." Lingering kiss back.

"Love you too."
