The ocean bared witness to their first kiss, through that apartment window. It was like sealing a deal. As they felt each other's lips, warmth coursed through Erik's body. He remembered this feeling, just barely... It had indeed been far too long since he last felt a woman's grace in this way. For the moment, he just couldn't let go of Doreen, keeping his right hand locked around her.
He enjoyed this quiet moment for a few more minutes - albeit it felt much longer than that. Afterwards, Erik finally decided to break the silence. He glanced towards the ocean's waves with visible hope in his eyes and asked softly "Hungry?" As nonchalant as it sounded after everything else... he thought that a lovely dinner would be the best way for both of them to get their feet back on the ground and start this relationship accordingly. Or maybe he just wanted an excuse to keep spending as much time as possible with her. He wasn't yet sure.
