It really was a superb night. It was clear, sky full of stars, and the reflection of the moonlight looking like it was going on for miles. Scott was pretty sure he could get used to living like this, but at the same time, he knew they would both get bored and yearn for the X-Men life again if they even tried. That's why it was awesome to get away how they had, because they didn't do it frequently enough. In fact, the last time they had been away together, it had been on business to LA. Fun enough, but not intimate enough.

Emma had taken her shoe off at the start of their walk and he had taken them off her to carry for her. He gave her a smile when she had looped her arm through his at first, but it wasn't long before she wrapped her arm around his waist instead and his draped protectively around her shoulders. It was a nice walk, and the sound of the water lapping on the sure was soothing. Scott could almost pretend they weren't encapsulated in a world of combat and conflict all the time, just from the nature of what they were.

Now, Emma had walked off down to the sure to let the water wash over her feet. It was cold, but she was tough as brass balls so it didn't really affect her. She seemed happy to just bask in the private freedom they had going for them here, and Scott couldn't help but just pause up on the sand a few paces away and watch her. She was beautiful, and he was hit with a dizzying sense of how lucky he was. He had come a long way, and it had led him here. Life really wasn't as bad as he had once believed it was.

There had been a million and one things that had happened since Scott and Emma first met that had both pushed them together, and tried to tear them apart. Emma didn't delude herself about their relationship. It hadn't started off in the best way possible, and there was a part of her that, to this day, was ashamed of herself for having pursued a relationship with Scott when he was married to Jean. But at the end of the day, the heart knew what it wanted, and when two people were made for each other, it was hard to deny. Emma knew that Scott was her other half in every way. They complimented each other, and they were passionate about the same things. Emma regretted the mistakes she'd made in the early days of their relationship, but she didn't regret following her heart to the man that she loved.

"No, it isn't like me, but I haven't relaxed this much in ages. It feels... Weird, but also kind of amazing at the same time. It's been too long, Scott. As much as I hate to admit it, I think we need vacations more often. Not that it's like we can easily just up and leave town. I wish we could. But hey, if they decide to have some fun while we're gone, as long as they don't get hurt and don't burn the mansion to the ground or puke on my rugs, I'll be okay with that. We needed this, my love. More than I even know how to say." She pulled herself up on her tippy-tip toes and gave him a gentle kiss. "I love you. I'm glad you dragged me away for a bit."
