Before he can tell her things like don't be sorry, I wouldn't have it any other way or I'm not sorry, Slim or hey, it's not that hard, it's better than being apart she starts talking about the weather; he looks up at the sky.
It's pretty. The clouds are real, not manufactured, not directed by some climate control group and out of all the things on Earth, the simple fact that the weather's real still amazes him. It did when he stayed with Doohan back when he was seventeen, learning the ins and outs of the Swordfish, and it does now.
"Hey." Turning his head, he kisses the side of her face. "I like being in the rain with you."
Yeah, they've had a few moments together. He remembers that time outside by the lake when they couldn't get enough of each other, right there on the lawn like they were a pair of sex-starved teenagers who'd never gotten any their whole damn lives, and they ended up racing back to their room and...
Well. Maybe they can't do that now, but he'll take every moment in the rain he can get with Beth. Turning, with Junior safely wedged between them, he does something he's been wanting to do for a fuck of a long time: gives his woman one hell of a kiss.
And then another.
He's not one to argue about things being better in threes, and that's something Beth hasn't ever said she minds.
She sure doesn't seem to mind right now. Hell, she might be the only woman on the whole damn planet getting kissed by a guy right now. That makes him feel all kinds of smug, not to mention lucky as hell.
