Harm grinned, "I'll give you my honest reactions then. No holding back." Not that she'd been doing that to begin with. When he said he would give her a hint about where they were going, harm beamed; she was being good, but she really was curious and it wasn't like her to actually just wait and see. Sometimes surprises were bad. Sometimes she just didn't like waiting. But for him, for this, she would. "Something about my nickname...?" Harm responded, more distracted by his lips at her ears than trying to understand what he was saying. |

"I said 'but the panther enjoys it'," Dante translated. "So you got one part of it." It may have been for amusements sake to say it french first off instead of just saying it how she understood it but still. Recalling her comment as he leaned away to look at her, he also noted that he hadn't budged just yet. "I think you were right when you said there would be a hard time getting out of this bed if you liked it. Though I think that's the other way around," he laughed. |

"Oh." Harm grinned slightly as Dante translated for her, telling him, "I was a little distracted." He backed up slightly though, and she was able to fully look at him and concentrate on what he was saying. The bed was really comfortable, as warm as she was with him on top of her, and she had to laugh when he said that he took would be having a hard time getting out of the bed. She contemplated that for a moment, wondering if it was a bad thing. Part of the experience was being there in the hotel with that room, right? Might as well take full use of it. However, she was curious about the surprise he had later at night, and so she teased "Don't worry. I'll get you out of bed. Hermits don't land on their feet." |

"A little?" he grinned. Sounded like an understatement. With her comment, however, he raised an eyebrow and trailed his hand up her side. "Maybe I would land on my feet. I'm a different sort of hermit," Dante reminded her before adding. "Besides, didn't you say you were distracted?" After trailing her hand up her side, he just moved it back down again. |

"Okay... a lot." Harm amended with another laugh. They had been so busy lately with the children, between the twins and the girls, and Sam, and Ella being married and having a twin and just everything in general that having time for just them was...like an aphrodisiac. The city of romance, it definitely was. With his hand moving up and down her side though, Harm squirmed underneath him, shifting just a little bit in response. It was slightly ticklish, extremely arousing, and she leaned up into him, her elbows elevating herself up. "You think you would? Interesting. We'll just have to attempt that, huh?" But she didn't move, lashes fluttering slightly lower as he moved his hand back down. |

"Maybe later." Instead of trailing his hand anywhere else though, he grinned and turned to lay on his back next to her with his hands clasped behind his head. He turned his head to look at her a moment and then looked up at the ceiling. "I saw a ice-cream place when we were walking up here," Dante quipped. "You know what I thought of right?" It was funny how little things like that could bring back a memory. Funny and yet it was a good thing at the same time. The costume shop for one, and in this case ice-cream places. |

Harm breathed out in an audible whoosh when Dante rolled off her to lay on the bed as well, and she left her arms sprawled above her as she just regained her focus. It was a lot easier when he wasn't pressed against her, touching her the way he had been. Hmph. Minx. When he brought up the ice-cream place though, and asked her if she knew what he had thought when he'd seen it, it was a softer, less mischievous smile that brightened her face. At the same time though, her response was quite playful. "Your green hair dye?" |

"Hey I still say we could have made a fortune on that stuff," Dante joked. Actually, it was nearly surprising when he thought about all the things they had done or been through because there was a lot. Time really did fly by when you didn't pay attention. "The purple suited you." With a grin he turned on his side to look at her and kissed her cheek. "Still think I'd land on my feet?" Depending on if he was caught off guard or not... |

"I think people wouldn't have been able to get past the sticky, gooey, stiff mess of it all." Harm responded, remembering with a crinkled nose just how that had felt. And how long it'd taken her to get it out of her hair. Her hair was practically squeaking before she was satisfied with its cleanliness. "I think you might, now that we're talking about it and it's in your head. But I'll catch you by surprise and we'll see." Harm smiled, before smoothing her shirt over her stomach and asking, "Do you think the kids are doing okay right now?" |

"I'm sure their fine. You know Ang and Kat love getting to see the other kids, and with that huge playroom I heard they got now? They'll be occupied for hours." He didn't doubt his sister's were capable of taking care of them all. With them all at Escape, minus Ella he assumed, it'd probably be like babysitting any other time. "Don't worry about it." Dante got up and stood at the end of the bed with his arms crossed over his chest. There was a sort of grin on his face, either from excitement or anticipation, who knew. "Right now I think the panther should go get dressed." At the same time though he was doing a mental checklist of things, but it was mostly up to the place to be ready when he had told them to be. |

"That's true. I know Ang and Kitty will be okay. There's just a lot of babies in that house for them all to take care of now." They would be fine. There was a lot of adults in that household. She was just a doting mother, used to spending every day with them, every hour. On the other hand though, that was what made this vacation so nice, right? She had time for herself, for once. When Dante stood, Harm leaned up on her elbows, gaze rising to his face. There was some kind of expression on his face, and she smiled back at him, bouncing up off the bed to unzip her bag. The dress had been on top so it wouldn't be smashed, and then she grabbed her second bag, winked at him, and walked into the bathroom. He had provided the dress for her, but she had added a little extra so that it would be a nice surprise for him as well. After working off all the baby fat from the twins, she was easily able to feel sexy in the outfit - from head to toe. Her hair went up in a simplistic, but elegant updo, strappy stilettos were snapped onto her feet, and the dress slid easily over the lingerie she'd splurged on. A bare minimum of smokey makeup and she was out the door, spinning to show him the whole get up. "What do you think?" |

While Harm got dressed, Dante changed into a more dressy pair of black pants and a different button up shirt. His hair was hopeless regardless but as usual he just ran his hands through it and messed it up a bit till it didn't look so bad off. As Harm stepped back into the room his smiled widened and he walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You look absolutely stunning," he told her as he kissed her. It was redundant to say the vacation was well deserved. And hey, it gave him a chance to spoil Harm. |

When Harm came out, she saw that Dante was running his hand through his hair. She laughed when he came over to her, wrapping his arms around her waist, and slid her fingers through the hair at the back of his neck, kissing him back. The trip had been fantastic as of so far, and she was already feeling great. Light. Happier. It seemed to be something that they had needed. "You have good taste." She told him. "I love this dress. It's...sexy..." She grinned at him, "But I'm not having to worry about it being too tight to breathe and it's very soft...so good job baby. I'll have to take you shopping with me more often, right?" Hey, it could be fun. |

"Yeah, well, I try," Dante teased. Harm did look absolutely gorgeous in the dress and he probably could have said that a dozen times over and it not get old. With her mention of a shopping trip though he grinned. "I'll be prone to bouts of silliness, Panther. Try on all the ridiculous hats? Be obnoxious to the other shoppers? It could either be disastrous or it could be fun." Dante had heard the phrase 'act your age' plenty of times, but he didn't follow it. As long as he knew when to be serious then it was hardly a big deal. Besides, he figured if you were always attempting to be a adult about every little detail then you wouldn't end up so happy. Taking Harm's hand he also took a small step back so he could spin her around. Taking her own hands he put them over her eyes. "No peeking." Sure she was going to keep her word he instead wrapped his arms around her waist again and disapparated with the place in mind. He took a moment before he said anything to see if the restaurant had actually managed to listen. That and the fact it took some negotiation and bargaining to even have this happen. "Don't be alarmed that you don't hear other people and don't look yet." Dante wasn't sure if he was going about it all the right way, but it was a attempt. If he got her to smile then hey, it was well worth it. Stepping over to the table they would be using he pulled out one of the chairs and angled it right so she would see exactly what he wanted her to when she first opened her eyes. The Eiffel tower view was definitely the mentioned hint. Guiding her over to the chair he then leaned by her ear as he whispered, "Open your eyes, Harm." The whole negotiation and bargaining had been for the fact he had gotten the resturant to themselves. The staff had no doubt not been so thrilled, but in the end he managed it. The one added thing to their table that he had done himself was the few candles. |

"I love your silliness, Hermit." Harm reminded him, with a little bit of a grin, "I married you, remember?" From their ice cream trips to the costume shops, their 'silliness' had given her moments that she probably would never forget. Just memories of reasons that she loved him, happy moments that stuck out when she heard him talk about his 'bouts of silliness'. Dante spun her around, and Harm obediently covered her eyes as he guided her there, squeezing her eyes shut per his request. "Okay..." She told him, when he told her not to look. She'd been pretty good to him in terms of listening, because she figured if he had put in so much effort to make this a great, planned out trip, she could at least participate for him. Truth was, she was just excited to see everything, and would have been completely happy if they'd just wandered around Paris together. However, the effort he was putting in was just making her more and more in love with him. She trusted him to lead her to...where ever he was leading her. When he finally said she could look, Harm opened her eyes; and immediately, widened them further. It was an absolutely insane view, and they were probably thousands of feet in the air, looking over the city at night. "This is...beautiful..." She breathed out, reaching back for him, holding his hand as she looked at the view he had hinted at. "Just absolutely...breathtaking, Dante..." She spun, beaming at him, "And way, way more than what was necessary." |

Naturally he was anxious. Or well he had been until he got her reaction and he smiled. The few things that were preplanned and thought out had been more than necessary. He wanted the trip to end up being one to remember. "I wanted it to be something special. This-" Dante squeezed her hand first and then gestured with his free hand to the room. "is ours for the night." All the talks with the person in charge had been more than worth it to see the reaction Harm had when she opened her eyes. Leaning down he kissed her then. "I love you." |

As Dante gestured around the room, Harm followed it, looking around at the beautiful, elegant, and modern outlay of the restaurant she had been brought to. The fact that there was no one else there surprised her a little, even though he had said not to be alarmed by it. In a place with a view like that, renting out the entire restaurant for a night had to be...incredibly difficult. "I am so impressed." She told him, grinning again as they kissed. "I love you too, Hermit." Like, seriously. Wow. She sat down in the chair he had pulled out for her, her gaze drawn to that view once again. |

"I told you we would be spoiled by the time we got home." That would be an odd transition by the time they did get home actually, but like Harm he did already miss the kids. You just got used to hearing them running around or laughing or anything, and when suddenly that wasn't there it was strange. Putting the thought aside he took the seat across from her. "I think they thought I was nuts a few weeks ago when I said I wanted the place for the night," Dante laughed. Actually they had thought he was just joking at first and then he had to reexplain. Amusing really. Turning to look out the window he looked at all the lights making everything seem that much more alive and the Eiffel tower itself. The place really was amazing. |

"You did." Harm agreed, taking a sip of the water already placed and ready at the table, "But I think the trip itself was the spoiling. This is just...this is ridiculous. Amazing, but ridiculous." This was...spoiled rotten to the maximum, really. "I'll bet! How many people ask to have an entire restaurant, this beautiful, for a night? That's insane. I love you for it, because this is...incredible. But they must have thought you were kidding or something!" Hell, if he had told her that he had rented them out a restaurant for the night she would think he was joking too. |

"It definitely took some convincing, but it was well worth it." Dante glanced at the waiter who came by and put the menu's on the table and asked what they wanted to drink, but then looked at Harm was he was going to let her go first while he looked at the menu. Some of it he couldn't even read which elicted a grin from him because he wasn't sure Harm was going to catch it either. Hey, half the fun in figuring it out right? |
