The giggle gets him smiling, a remarkably genuine warmth from Bill Sikes. He likes to hear her like that (or he likes it right now, while the moment suits his fancy), free from care or strain. Likes to know he can give her those moments. And it makes him feel even more how good their life together is, how much it's a world of its own, untouchable by all else.

(Broken only from within, but that's a thought at the far back of his mind, and not one he's going to touch.)

Then that kiss. He likes that kiss as well, missed this closeness that pressure from her and how had he managed to go being separated for so long? Must've been hell. Was hell. "My faithful girl." She gets another kiss in return, and this time there's more pressure, while his hand goes to the back of her head, strokes her hair. "Anyone tries to take you away, I'll see they don't walk another ten steps in this life."
