Whatever reason he has for pausing is a bad reason, but she doesn't bring it up. M-'s recent romantic ventures might have been more complicated that a soap opera about Greek gods, but she at least had them. Blade has been alone in most ways for a long time, if not most of his life. A moment to catch himself makes sense and is more than made up for when he closes the distance.
This embrace was nothing about art and everything about finding what they both needed in the moment. She didn't miss her name because she didn't need it alone with Blade under the open sky. M- was a part of the night, a part of the approaching winter, and entirely a woman in the arms of a suitor she desired. And then there's a break and a question. Two questions.
She looks up at him, pupils dilated, lips slightly bruised. "I want you very much. Do you?"
Ugh, that sucks.
