Work Text:
Molly was listening to the song “Golden Hour,” or at least the cover by VoicePlay, a band she admired greatly, and doing the dishes from a successful dinner party when Leonard came into the room. “This song again?” he teased, but there was a smile on his face as he said it, going up behind Molly to wrap his arms around her waist.
“I like it!” she said with a laugh, taking a moment to brush her wet hands on her apron. The water was hot because the tap wasn't working right, and her hands were reddened by the hot water.. “It’s just so sweet and lovely and romantic.”
“I know that’s your favorite kind of music,” he said, swaying in time to the music and pulling her into swaying with him. She abandoned the dishes as the first stanza ended and turned in Leonard’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck. “You know, I never would have thought there’d be a moment where I could dance with you again after the bar in Georgia. Now we dance together all the time.”
I was all alone with the love of my life
She's got glitter for skin
My radiant beam in the night
I don't need no light to see you
Shine
It's your golden hour
Oh, oh, oh
You slow down time
In your golden hour
“We really do, don’t we?”
“Yes, we do. And it’s nice.” Leonard moved his hands to her hips and pulled away slightly before lifting a hand up and twirling her around, much to her amusement. A laugh escaped her lips before he pulled her back in nice and close.
“Did you dance a lot with your ex-wife?” she asked curiously.
“No, but I danced with Joanna standing on my feet. My wife claimed I had two left feet.”
“That’s utter shite,” Molly said defensively.
“You know that and Iknow that,” but then, she’s always been a liar.
“I’m sorry. I ruined a lovely moment,” she said, wincing.
“No you didn’t. The music is still playing, I have a beautiful woman in my arms…what more is there to ask for?” he said, smiling down at her.
“A kiss?”
“Wouldn’t say no to one,” he said with a bigger grin. He leaned in as she moved upward to meet in the middle. The kiss was soft, but both of them were smiling and she knew that even though she’d made it awkward for a moment, she would always appreciate these moments, just in case anything ever happened to take Leonard away from her.
