Molly looked at him when he lifted her chin and blew out a tiny relieved breath, warmth rushing over her skin in the wake of his hand moving up and down her arm and spreading out through the rest of her.
She'd never given it much thought because living alone made the idea of immortality easy. She could be there for every one of her family members, see them grow up, see them grow old, look after them through their lives. That she could live with. But falling for someone, loving them, living with them for their whole lives...that would be hard on both people in it. She could see why wizards so often lived alone. It was a hard thing to take, that if they did this thing - really did it - she would outlive him by such a huge margin.
But rationally, neither she nor Will knew what was going to happen to them here in this place. Thinking about the long term could wait. Molly would rather live in the here and now with him and Will seemed happy to do the same.
She smiled a little and nodded. "Okay then." She said and then let her head turn into his hand, kissing his palm for a moment before she looked back at him. "All this stuff is a little much for pillowtalk, huh?"
