Greta leans into the kiss with a soft, satisfied hum. His words might not be set to music, but there's still something about the way he says them -- as if they're meant for her ears alone -- that gives them a similar, comforting weight. She doesn't need a melody to believe him, anymore.
"Oh, good," she says, opening her eyes and smiling up at him. "Otherwise, my loving you would be awfully inconvenient."
She starts towards the spare room with a hum of agreement by the time he's finished his first question, but glances back in surprise when the second one lands. "Of course I don't mind. Someone ought to use it."
She's kept some of her own crafting supplies in there, but she rarely works in the room itself. In part, it's because she never went far enough towards making it not a nursery to banish the memories of when it was one, and even with Saoirse and all the children at the Gardens in her life, it had still made her a little bit sad. A workshop, on the other hand, is a clear departure from the room's original intent, and she thinks it's exactly what the space needs.
So she gives him a reassuring smile, and adds, "Besides, I hardly think one room constitutes 'taking over.' This is your home, too."
