Casey found himself smiling when his fiance took his hand, and let his fingers give hers a squeeze of thanks.  He always loved the idea of spending time in a cabin, with a wood stove for heat, and only nature around for miles.  That she was willing to concede to a honeymoon in the north was another smile to his face.  What came as a subtle thrill however, was that she wanted to see him more before the ceremony.  The wizard found himself longing more and more to spend time with the woman as well.  And not just to acclimate to his mandatory life-partner.<br/><br/>"I've got a job coming up on Tuesday, but it's mostly consultation.  No heavy lifting.  I can stop by after work if you want.  Other than that, my days are free.  I cleared my schedule pretty well for all this."  He half-grinned.  "And I think I'd like that."  He finished his plate of Thai, and retrieved his hand from his fiance to take his dish to the sink.  "I can wash this, if you want."  He added, with a grin over his shoulder.<br/><br/>He was feeling better and better about the betrothal.
