Mini GP

It was that time of the year, a time that used to fill Valentine with joy. Christmas was so wonderful usually, after all, but not so much this year. He simply wasn't in the holiday spirit. However, he'd planned this charity event months ago, and there was no cancelling it now. 

It wasn't as flash as ones he'd held in prior years, his museum open to the public with collection buckets all over for people to give what they could to ensure a better holiday for those in need. Music filled the space, and there were performers all throughout the space. Yes, he'd had to up security for the evening to keep his many occult related items safe, but- Well, it was worth it, he supposed. If nothing else, it seemed to be enough to stop his mother from worrying so much about him for a bit.

All were welcome and admission was free. The bar was reasonably priced, and there were a few free nibbles donated by a local restaurant. All and all, not a bad night for the bored and the generously inclined.

"Well now I've got to," Coby decided, mugging a little for making her laugh.

It was the mugging that made Vanessa very, very weakly smack her hand on his arm, and leaving it there as they walked, her other hand still in the crook of his elbow. "You've had your laugh. Are you happy now?" she asked, eyes still sparkling.

"The real question is, are you?" Coby was fully convinced Vanessa could use more laughter and happiness in her life. Light in the darkness. If he gave her even a moment or two of that, that was not a bad thing, and he smiled, resting his hand over hers as they walked.

For a bright, wonderful moment, Vanessa imagined herself answering him with a kiss. She allowed herself to remember the way he had reacted as she touched his wings. She pictured herself making love to him, not like the first time they had met. Something deeper, and brighter.

But she could not trust herself, and it was only a flight of fancy.

She smiled at Coby, and stroked his hand with her thumb. "Thank you, Coby."

There was something in her eyes, a hint of light, and Coby watched her dial it back. He wondered, of course, but this was Vanessa, so he let her have that extra distance and only smiled back at her. "Any time, Vanessa."
