day 26 - kiss on the knee (Newtina)
By the time Newt finishes the evening rounds, Tina is dozing off on the sofa. Understandably so, with the warmth of the fireplace and blanket creating a cozy atmosphere. It has been a quiet day overall, a few hours spent outdoors including dinner at their favourite restaurant, and the last little while relaxing in their own ways before bed.
The way the flames cast light on her has him pausing to appreciate the sight, then carefully, he sits on the rug at her feet, back to the couch. Though he’s already a little hot from the earlier exertion, this is a different kind of warmth that draws him. He can’t help wanting a bit of connection and, after pressing a quick kiss to the closest part of her—the joint of her knee, covered by the soft blanket—he lays his head atop Tina’s bent leg while winding an arm around it.
With a smile, Newt leans in more comfortably and turns a little to watch the fire.
