Sam and Daniel walked through a nearby park, hand-in-hand, looking very happy as they enjoyed each other's company, and the ambient weather. They eventually stopped at a bench, where they sat together very intimately, and he, grinning, said affectionately,

"I don't think that I've ever enjoyed this park… or any park so much."

"Me neither, although… the last time I came here, it was seven years ago… with Orlin…"

She looked guilty on mentioning an old flame, and he kissed her on the cheek, whispering, "I'm fine, I really am."

Slipping her arms around his neck as she straddled the bench, she remarked with a grin, "I love you."

"And I love you, despite you scaring the hell out of me sometimes."

"Likewise."

As he wrapped his arms around her waist, she leant into him, brushing his lips with hers as she whispered, "No more secrets?"

Smiling, he kissed her quickly on the lips, whispering back, "No more secrets."

She kissed him, this time deepening it as she held onto him tighter, neither really caring about their surroundings, which included many parents who looked at them in annoyance, pulling their children in the opposite direction, as a few other people smiled knowingly.

He pulled back first, whispering as he glanced past her, "I think we should stop now before we get thrown out…"

"I don't care."

"Oh, that's the woman I fell in love with."

He gently kissed her, the kiss a lot tamer and polite than previously before all innocence flew out of the metaphorical window as his lips trailed down her throat quickly and efficiently, all the while aware of their passing audience. When he had finished, she held onto him tighter, resting her head on his shoulder, amazed.

"I love how it's Earth-shattering when we kiss."

"Me too, Sam… I've never felt that before…ever."

She didn't say anything, processing why she had never felt like this before, and he gently ran his fingers through her hair, truly happy for once, his heart feeling as though a lifetime of frost had defrosted.
