Whether it was by Neric's at least partial intervention or not, Cecilia couldn't tell. But when James took her hand, a rush came over her and her voice broke slightly and daintily, like it had during the hike, although somewhat quieter. She was constantly mindful of how good it felt and the significance of what it meant, but decided to stay quiet, feeling as though anything she'd say wouldn't come out right and spoil the moment, of which she'd hoped was only the first of many. Although she didn't have James' jacket, it was like she didn't need it to feel warm. Gazing softly at him for several seconds, she noted how adorable he looked and decided to give his hand an affectionate squeeze before turning to the fire herself, a slight blissful smile on her face.
