One more thing...

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded, "Anything for the beautiful princess."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and kissed his cheek. "Such a gentlemanly prince I have..." She purred.

 

[Riven]

He laughed softly as he gently wrapped an arm around her, "Ah, to which he must try to settle, hoping he is enough for the princess."

 

[No More Pretending]

She laid her head on his shoulder and giggled. "In response to which, the princess thinks that he is being ridiculous if he thinks that he wouldn't be."

 

[Riven]

He leaned over and gently kissed her cheek, "Just making sure m'lady."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly. "Let's get in the car."

 

[Riven]

He nodded, "Gladly."

 

[No More Pretending]

She kissed his cheek and walked to the car, getting in.

 

[Riven]

He smiled softly as he sat in his usual seat, turning over the keys.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly and looked out the window. "I've heard that the art museum has a few Van Goghs on loan from the museum in Amsterdam."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he drove, nodding, "I heard that as well, let's take a look."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and nodded. "I can't wait. He's my favorite impressionist."

 

[Riven]

He smiled and nodded as well, slowly parking the car into the lot.

 

[No More Pretending]

She hopped out, smiling.

 

[Riven]

He smiled softly as he walked over and took her hand gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She held his hand happily.

 

[Riven]

He smiled and gently squeezed her hand.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled and walked into the museum. Sculptures and paintings lined the hall leading to the admissions desk.

 

[Riven]

He took a glance around as he reached his hand into his pocket, taking a hold of his wallet.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled slightly. "Admission is three dollars."

 

[Riven]

He nodded as he pulled out his wallet and paid six dollars to the admission booth.

 

[No More Pretending]

She held his free hand. "I'm excited."

 

[Riven]

He chuckled softly as he gently leaned his hand down and curled it so her arm wrapped around his, "I'm always excited when you're beside me."

 

[No More Pretending]

The woman smiled. "You always know just how to compliment me..." she whispered happily, leaning her head against his shoulder.

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he led her to the first exhibit of paintings and sculptures, gently kissing her forehead as he did so. "It's what I'm here for..", he replied in a soft whisper.
