Once I set down my lingerie in the bathroom, I sit on the bed between Draco's lap while he takes the pins out of my hair.

"I know you helped Hiraeth get those flowers." I say. "That was really nice of you."

He laughs. "It's a lot harder for her when she's three feet shorter than everyone. I figured i'd give her a boost."

"A six-foot three boost?"

He shrugs. "For her, yes."

I smile.

"What's the meaning of your name?" Draco asks.

I've never been asked that in my life. Interesting question, but I have an answer.

"Before I was born, my parents were just as in love as you and me. Their favorite thing to do was travel together. They traveled everywhere, all over the world. Anything is possible with magic. They visited the African savanna, it was their favorite place they ever visited. It was different to them, beautiful. They had never seen anything like it, and even though it was hot, and so so brown." I laugh. "They loved it, and that's how I got my name."

"Woah.."

"What's the meaning of yours?" I ask.

He scoffs. "Oh, me? Nothing. My parents are just extra."

I laugh at him.

I look around the room, just now realizing there's a piano in the corner. I must've overlooked it, I was too busy staring at the bed.

"I just now noticed that piano." I say, pointing to it.

"Oh yeah, I figured I could play a little bit. It's been a while since i've played."

I forgot how much I enjoy hearing him play. He was always so peaceful on that piano.

"I would love that."

Am I hurting you?" Draco asks. "I would hate to be hurting you."

"Not at all." I say. "How many pins have you taken out?"

"Fourteen, and there's still more in. How did you sleep the whole way here with all of this in your head?"

"I guess I was just exhausted? This has been the longest and best day of my life. And it's about to get even better."

Draco pauses with his hands in my hair when he realizes what I meant when I said it was about to get better.

"Speechless?" I question.

I feel him start to move again. "Yeah, just a little." He laughs. "These pins, holy fuck."

"My hair had to last the whole night." I tell him.

"But.."

"Hm?"

"I want you to put that stuff on."

I smile to myself, fidgeting with my wedding ring on my finger. "Well hurry up then."

"Trust me, i'm trying."

Once my hair is completely undone, Draco fluffs it in his hands. It's between curly and wavy, and it seems very voluminous after being up for that long.

"Done!" Draco states.

I immediately get off the bed, rushing to the bathroom. "Look at me, hurrying for you."

I'm closing the door and I see Draco move his head to try and keep looking at me for as long as possible. "I love youuu."

I shut the door and I exhale.
