The number of people Bill knew as well as he knew Fleur were few and could be counted on one hand with fingers left to spare. Yet looking at her now, seeing that slight flush in her cheeks – the tiny imperfection in her perfection that made her beauty real to him – he could only guess at what she was thinking. There was no doubt in his mind, however, that it included the two of him, and his smile widened at the sheer number of occasions that could be. A few stood out, like the sight of her walking down the aisle towards him on their wedding day, the first time she smiled at him, but most clear to him, was the recognition of her the first time he saw her at Gringott's. Oh, sure, he had noticed her at the Triwizard Tournament too, but she had been a student, and though the time that had passed in the meantime wasn't particularly significant, seeing her at the bank was completely different from seeing her at the old school.
"I know," he whispered, stretching out his long leg and with his foot hooked around the leg of her chair pulled her closer to him. "I love you, too."
Combing her hair behind her ear with his fingers, he leaned in, lips mere millimeters from hers. "Or we could stay in and you could dress up for me anyway," he murmured, the thought of her, his wife, his unbelievably sexy wife dressing up making it difficult for him to focus on anything else. Gently cupping her cheek, he tilted up her head and teased his lips against hers. "...find some food in the cooler... open one of the bottles of wine..."
