[Honestly? If they had all the time in the world, Tifa might have been okay with staying on the beach and dancing on the sand for a little longer. She hasn't had this much fun in a while and she wishes that she could make it last, if only so that she could see more of those smiles and hear his laughs that had felt so much rarer until now. She can only hope that it means that he is as happy as she is right now, as they twirl and sway and step to the beat of the music that will sit in her heart for the many days, weeks, months to come. As it should.
More than that, she wishes that she could memorize the look on his face, and the way that the sunset washes over him in its array of colours. It's funny, she hadn't really seen him this way in the past, but now that things are finally starting to shift between them, it's like a whole other sort of light. She likes these changes, and she knows that things will continue to change and grow. For now, she is content where they are, dancing on the beach at sunset, his laughs, quiet as they are, louder in her ear than any song that these dragons can play.
But even when the music fades as they leave the beach, that doesn't mean that the day is over. He surprises her again with his choice of restaurant, and it doesn't even need to be fancy at all for her to enjoy it. They have a nice view of the beach on the patio, and the food is phenomenal. They get to watch the people pass them by, other couples coming out onto the boardwalk and walking along the beach, whose footsteps they will follow once they do head back out for that one last stroll along the shore, their toes kissed by the cool waves under the moon.
The perfect end to a perfect day. So perfect that she is hard-pressed to say goodnight to him at the ship when it comes time to. If he could stay just a little longer... but she knows that he has a home and a dog to return to as well. So she will let him go... this time, as she heads to bed with the music replaying in her head, her stomach all aflutter with butterflies, and a smile pressed to her lips as she tries to sleep...
Though, she might be far to giddy to for a while.]
