"Just a small token." Resting his head back on the pillow, Bill's eyes close, the feel of her lips lingering against his. For a brief moment the thought am I enough for you? crosses his mind, but he lets it go. He was a bit fatalistic about this relationship through necessity the first time around: it's as though he and Fleur were working out the necessary steps and doing it painfully.
This time -- the second time -- is different. He knows they fell into it unbidden and happily so.
Her head rises and falls with each of his breaths and he wraps his arms around her.
If every step of fate were up to him, he'd surround her always with beauty.
