“I always wanted a house by the sea.” Remus filled 2 mugs with tea and handed 1 to Severus.
“Why?” Severus took his usual seat on the right side of their square kitchen table, a purchase from the parish’s Fall Bazaar. Beyond their picture window, a tiny boat chugged towards the shore. “Looks like rain.”
“It’s peaceful.” Remus sat down across from Severus. “We’ve both earned that.”
“No, Remus. You deserve more . . .”
“Wrong, Severus. We deserve this. We deserve to be happy.”
Severus nodded.
“To the future!” said Remus.
“To
our future,” corrected Severus, smiling. “To us.”
