"I guess, yeah," Dani says, ducking her head for a moment as she laughs in turn, self-deprecating but genuinely amused. "See? This is exactly what I'm talking about." At least with Viktor, there's never been any sense of pressure in that regard, no need to make herself smaller, to take up less and less room. It's just an old habit, all but impossible to shake, one she picked up in childhood and leaned into more and more as she got older.
She still doesn't want to derail the conversation by talking about all of her bullshit when there's something so much more significant at hand. Even the way he smiles seems to drive that home. It's hardly the first time she's seen him smile, but it seems somehow that much more vivid now, as if lit up from within.
"And I'll make sure I grab that music for you when we get back," she agrees, saying so mostly to commit it to memory. "We don't get a lot of people coming in for sheet music, so I'm sure it'll be fine until then."
