Amy saw the samples of fudge and smiled. Awesome!
But she wanted to stay with Karrie, so she watched the woman making the fudge with him.
"Doesn't marble allow you to cut right on the counter without having to use a cutting board because the marble is so indestructible?"

It's not indestructible, and it's still best to use a cutting board. If nothing else, for ease of cleanup. *smiles down at Amy* The marble helps the fudge cool down faster. It doesn't hold the heat in as much. It's very useful for pastry making, as well as fudge. *looks back at the demonstration for a moment* Well, how about those samples?

Good for pastry making? Amy might have to consider... Wait! She just thought of a great idea for a future present for Karrie! Yes!
She broke herself out of her inner musings when she noticed Karrie looking at her. His words finally registered in her mind and she laughed.
"Oh yeah, samples. Let's go!"
She quickly went over to the area and looked at the different kinds.
"Okay, I may make a lot of sweets, but fudge isn't one of them. You will probably have to guide me on this."
She smiled and then looked back up at him. "By the way, when is your birthday?"

Well, if you taste good fudge, you'll know it. They should taste like what the sign says. It should be smooth, but not melty. Sweet, but not overpoweringly sweet. It'll have small crystals, but you should barely be able to feel them on your tongue.
*blinks, confused at the changes of subject for a moment* It's in September. Same day as Kits, actually. Or, that's when we've always celebrated it, at least.
*picks up a piece of chocolate fudge* I think you should try this one. *holds it out to put it in her mouth*

Amy momentarily thought that if she charged Karrie a dollar for every time he mentioned Kits' name today, she'd be rich. However, his knowledge on fudge was cute. It was almost like a science to him.
She smiled when he offered her fudge. She just thought he was holding it out for her to take, so she reached up, picked it up gently out of his hands, and held it in front of her mouth.
"Crystals, huh? Well, I hope there aren't too many of those in here."
She put it in her mouth and began to chew slowly. After a few moments, a small smile broke out on her face and she nodded. She couldn't speak because she was still eating. It was good. Not incredible, but good.

Like I said, they should be very small. *tries a piece of the chocolate fudge himself and nods* Pretty good, but chocolate's not my favorite.
*goes over to the peanut butter fudge and picks up another sample* This one will probably be a little creamier. *after Amy's finished her sample, he holds out the sample to her. When she reaches out to take it again, he grabs her hand with his other one and places the sample in her mouth when she opens it to protest*

Amy completely agreed with Karrie and thought it was kind of sweet that they had the same opinion about chocolate.
"I know exactly what you mean! Chocolate's okay, but I like additions to mine. I don't like just plain chocolate or chocolate that often."
She smiled brightly when Karrie went over to the peanut butter fudge. She quickly reached out for the sample he held out to her, but when he pulled her hand down, she was quite surprised. When he put the fudge directly in her mouth, her eyes widened largely. Well that was just sneaky!.. And pretty damn sexy, too. Karrie was being a lot of fun today and she loved it.
When she tasted the flavor and felt the smooth texture on her tongue, she closed her eyes and moaned softly.
She brought her hand up to lightly cover her mouth as she spoke. "Oh... my... GOD! We need to get some of that to bring back to the room. That is incredible!"
She reached for his hand, smirked up at him, and placed his index finger in her mouth. It still had some of the chocolate and peanut butter on it. Just a little bit, but enough for her to enjoy. She sucked at it lightly and then dragged her teeth over it just enough so that she was sure to have gotten it all.
Then she released his finger, picked up a sample of the fudge and held it out for Karrie.
"It's very good."
Her voice was lower and softer than normal.

*Amy's moan and exclamation quickly turned his thoughts in a direction that had nothing to do with fudge. Her sucking on his finger didn't help matters either, and, a moment later when he was able to speak again, his voice was lower than normal* Taking some up to the room sounds very good. *leans down to take the fudge from her, and his eyes close briefly in pleasure* Mmmm... very good idea.
*smiles at Amy for a moment, still holding her hand, before realizing that the woman behind the counter is watching them expectantly. Karrie clears his throat and places his order for an assortment of different flavors, to include extra Maple for Kits, Rocky Road for Velcore, and peanut butter for him and Amy, with smaller amounts of the other flavors, which he would give out to the others he'd planned to bring something back for*

When she saw Karrie's eyes close and the look of pleasure on his face, Amy's face started to heat up. His words and even-lower voice made her smile softly and become a little anxious. She suddenly didn't want to go shopping for other things on her own for even five minutes. But then again, holding off going to their room for just a little bit longer might intensify their feelings even more. And she really liked the look on his face right now and how low his voice was. He already had a low voice, but now, it was the lowest she had ever heard it. She wondered if it could go even lower.
She barely even noticed him getting more fudge. She did notice when they were outside, though. She moved close to him and slowly ran one of her hands up one of his arms. When she spoke, her voice was soft and a little breathless.
"Alright... I have to do some quick shopping by myself now. It shouldn't take more than 15 minutes. We can meet back here then and go to the hotel. I'll see you soon..."
She leaned up and her lips almost brushed Karrie's. Her breath was against his lips, but at the last minute, she thought better of it and simply kissed the corner of his mouth and her fingers just lightly dug into his arm. Then, she was heading off toward a different shop.

*nods* 15 minutes.
*is tempted to follow her as she walks away, just to look at her longer. He makes himself turn in the opposite direction, and hurry off to the shop he'd seen earlier that should have what he was looking for. He found it quickly, and ten minutes later was back outside the fudge shop waiting for Amy*

Amy had actually found a small shop that sold the medicine she was looking for. Okay, it wasn't a full shop. It was more like a booth in a tent, but she was used to that. The people who sold this medicine needed to be able to pick and leave very quickly if they got word of police nearby.
She bought several bottles and then went to the other store she and Karrie had been in before they went to the fudge shop. She found two things she really liked for Karrie and finished up buying gifts for the rest of the people on her list.
When she came out, she saw Karrie already standing at their meet-up spot, ready to go. She smiled. She was afraid that maybe things would have cooled down in the short time they were apart, but nope. If anything, when she saw him across the street, she was even more anxious to get back to the hotel now.
She walked across the street when it was clear of carriages and slipped up behind him. She wrapped her arms around him, her bags bumping against him just lightly, and she kissed the back of his neck.
"I'm ready."

*smiles widely when amy comes up behind him* That's good. Let's go back to the hotel, then.
*turns around and puts his arms around her* If you don't mind dinner in our room tonight, I picked up some snacks we can eat there. I thought some privacy sounded good.
*kisses her, then flags down a carriage to take them back up to the hotel. The bags he was holding were getting a little heavy, especially the fudge*

Amy tried to speak, but she was at a loss of words. Plus, she didn't really trust her voice at the moment. The kiss had almost taken her breath away, and she was a little nervous right now. Privacy. Karrie wanted dinner in their room tonight because he wanted some privacy. It sounded wonderful and romantic and she had to remind herself to breathe and stay as calm as she possibly could.
She was also excited. She quickly got in the carriage when it arrived and then smiled at Karrie when he joined her.
When they got to the hotel, she focused on heading up the stairs one at a time, focused on the exact present moment, not what might happen soon. Being too excited would ruin the mood, and so would being nervous.

*Amy was very quiet on the ride up to the hotel, but when Karrie looked at her, she seemed very happy, so he didn't worry about it.
Once they were in the hotel room, he put away the gifts he'd bought, except for the peanut butter fudge. He left that out, setting it on the table between the beds. The rest of the snacks, he put out on the table on the other side of the room. There were two armchairs, one on either side of it, that they could sit in* Well, dinner's ready whenever we are. *smiles softly at Amy, then goes up to her and puts his arms around her*

Amy sighed softly and smiled when Karrie put his arms around her. She reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You know, I could order some room service and we could have a quick meal so we don't fill up on chocolate. That might make us a little sick. It'd be my treat. Anything you wanted."
And she did not think she wanted to get sick tonight.
