"I was thinking of a rocking chair."

Joaquin's brows rose in surprise because he didn't see that answer coming. He glanced at Aries and noticed the subtle smile on her face. A smile that had never turned up on her face ever since that day Rikhill fell into ruin. 

"You want a rocking chair?" he asked, and she looked back at him, nodding profusely. He chuckled. "Hah… you want it?"

Joaquin casually laid down until his head was resting on her lap, something he had always wanted to do with her. This time, Aries didn't react and just gazed down at him, showing no sign of hatred for him.
