"You will see little enough of him. He mislikes strangers, so he'll hiss and hide and that is that." Yet she seems happier now, as if she is earnestly relieved that, while perhaps not an open worshipper of cats of all shapes and sizes, he does not jump to immediate loathing. What on earth was in that wine, when she had but a glass of it and already feels as though she is walking on air by his side?
Midway, she seems to stop him, to point out a looming building that all but shouts of some rich man's investment. "There it is. The view of the river is lovely, almost as if I am back by the sea." Just without her father's persistent supervision, or the heaps and heaps of rock that gave her ancestral home its name. She turns to him, and if he is so willing as to face her, then there can be little doubt of her next intention. The promenade is quiet at this hour, what with the cool winter's air chasing others back into their warm homes, and so she sees little wrong with allowing one of her hands to sink into his hair, and all of her to lift to the tips of her toes, so that she can place a soft, almost asking kiss to his lips.
