Draco had a potion book hovering in front of him at a table in their rooms in the Guild, currently poring over a very complicated potion entry.

"This is important to me. Because you're important to me. And we got married in the middle of you trying to find yourself. I want you to keep looking, and while we can look together, it's important that you have some time to look by yourself."

"Still, if you can't be by yourself for one night a week, then there is some sort of problem."

A reassuring kiss to his knuckles.
"Why don't you go see him this coming Saturday, if not sooner? Then Sunday can be set aside for us and we can do something like that every weekend."
Until she's not quite so worried.

"Oh, we could bring that lovely blanket Kyle and Jessica gave us at our wedding. It would be easier to enchant that ahead of time instead of worrying about it when it happens."
But drat! No shared body heat!
