Emma isn't as enamored with the idea as Gavin himself, but it does not bother him. That she's willing to try new experiences — from relaxing in a spring to dancing together in a club — was enough to satisfy him. She may have had more experience than him with relationships in a purely physical sense, but Gavin was more well-versed with blending in, being a regular couple.[break][break]
A soft, genuine smile, the likes of which others never get to see, dons light across his lips as he takes her hand.[break][break]
"Mm, thankfully," he agrees, his other hand caressing her waist and sliding up under her shirt. "I'd miss your curves, the softness of your skin..."[break][break]
He runs his nails along the curve of her breast, punctuating his words. His smile is devious, now. Though late at night, they're still in public; the gesture carries the thrill of the forbidden. He kisses her neck, making a face at the taste of ash upon her skin. Chuckling softly, he draws back and tugs her toward the door.[break][break]
The man working the desk seems surprised when the chimes above the door tinkle softly, looking up from his phone to squint at the couple from behind a pair of glasses. After a brief exchange of words and payment, the employee directs them through a door to the showers, which then lead out into the springs beyond. The hot spring is mostly enclosed, covered over to prevent contamination from the falling ash. At night, small lanterns cast light upon the water, which lies empty and waiting. After stripping down and rinsing ash from his hair and skin, Gavin settles into the hot water with a relieved sigh.[break][break]
"They did well with VR, but nothing beats the real thing."
