He takes her hand, kissing the backs of her fingers with a suave flourish, his cold lips lingering against her warm knuckles. She giggles coyly behind the fingers of her free hand, the silver of her ring catching the light from the chandeliers overhead.

Just beautiful.

It was his eyes that drew her in the beginning, she knows. Deep and mysterious; beautiful as the man himself. She loves his eyes most, she thinks.

He still looks at her, sees her, acknowledges her, and she is the only one in this entire room who is given that.

That is especially stunning. My husband better give me at least one good look before the day is over or he is SOOO in trouble. ;)

Thank you very much.

I thought you'd approve of the tap-tap-tap-ing~ I also really like how that line came out, myself. It just felt really right, without being overly purple *coughTencough* BUT YES. I don't care if it's a 'proper' wedding, Lucy wasn't gonna go without some red and I can't really imagine the Master not having red, either, seeing as he loves that colour and all. But I definitely wanted to try and convey 'love' in this piece, so I hope I was able to do so effectively. I'm glad you liked it.
