Who: Toni and Lovi
When: April 27, evening
Where: the Vargas mansion
What: They finally happen. After two years. They happen.
(there will eventually be a warning on this)
The last week had flow by in a huge, happy blur. The end of the trial, Easter, Feli coming home...so so many things that left Antonio's whole body buzzing with a happy warmth and energy. It was wonderful, after a month of quiet desperation. The silences and worries and fears--all gone and replaced with good things. He was free and able to spend time with the ones he loved. So after Lovi got back from work and they all enjoyed one of Feli's amazing dinners, there was really no reason for him not to be smiling from ear to ear. It felt so good to be genuinely happy again.
Perhaps...that was why all through dinner, he couldn't quite stop himself from the urge to reach out under the table, running his leg suggestively against Lovi's. It was a silent request, which he repeated, rubbing up against the frabric slowly, teasingly. Is it okay? Will you let me?
