Their first kiss had been a promise, something asked and something received.

The second time they kissed had been a somewhat charming encounter. They were both young. They both had issues, but he hadn't ran away and she hadn't driven him off.

The third time they kissed, it had been an act of comfort. It had been something more intimate than an embrace. The kiss had been needed by the both of them.

... Which brings them to this point. Neither one of them need comfort. Neither one of them are promising anything. For the first time (in their adult lives), it is a kiss for enjoyment's sake. And Tonks very much enjoys this one.

Her body leans into him. While her left hand still has a secure hold on the front of his shirt, her right hand casually comes to a rest on his shoulder. Her fingertips and hand then slide around his neck locking them together.

Eventually, she becomes aware of just how much she likes where his hands are. She likes what his lips are doing. Tonks had not been expecting to dislike their first romantic kiss but

She's not happy. It's different than happiness, it's better.

Tonks doesn't ever remember him being this easy around her before. There's an ease to him and she likes it. She likes the way he talks about Sirius and his past exploits, both in their own world and in Anatole. She likes how she doesn't have to be the one to initiate the conversation. She can just be and listen. It's wonderful.

He's wonderful.

The passage of time goes unnoticed. It only seems as though mere minutes have passed since they sat down to dinner and to when the lights dim in the restaurant. Where had the time gone? When he offers his arm, she accepts it without hesitation. As they walk, she leans her head against his shoulder.

She doesn't want this night to end and she's pleased when he takes her the park.

Tonks perks when the first rose lights up. Her attention is grabbed. She turns her head and looks just in time to see the path explode brilliant with light. When the dragonflies start to buzz, she inhales a deep breath.

"Oh, Remus... You remembered."
