His grin only makes her smile even more, eyes squinting up cheerfully with the action. There's something particularly nice and makes her rather proud when she can get Remus on a streak of smiles and laughter and genuinely just fun conversation. It's hard sometimes, and understandably so, but she believes wholeheartedly in the fact that he deserves those times of just being happy.

"Can you remember that, please? When our timelines meet again?"
