she knows there is no convincing him. but she will keep trying.

he’s waited outside for a concert in minus five in a t-shirt before. he spends time on the ice for a living; it’s in his veins. he’ll be fine.
it’s just her, but that’s fine. he’ll just bring shorts.

there’s always extra brownie for the little one- and of course, she had been stocking up on juice boxes just in case she comes around.
it’s getting cold, she hopes they dressed accordingly.

got it — jumping in his truck now, then! and the little one’s coming along, if she doesn’t mind. is there an extra half a brownie for her?
teddy’s happy to forgo his own if necessary.

is she already making her way towards them with quick steps, yes she is. almost running even.
first, she heads to ella, giving the girl a peck on the cheek, then she raises herself on her tiptoes to give teddy a tight hug.
“hey.”

he tries his best.
he’s barely even undone his seatbelt by the time she’s stood next to his truck, and he quickly helps ella out of her booster seat in the back before hopping out.
setting his little girl down, he wears a wide grin, then jerks his thumb to the truck.
“i brought food.”

well, if he can’t, she will speak highly of him in both of their behalf, no problem.

He’s trying. He’s. . . working on it. Work in progress. He knows.

he should give himself more credit, seeing him is the highlight of her day, especially when she is having a rough morning. it just makes her day and does it make her happy that she feels like she could just fly? that kind of feeling.

“so much better.”
he’s just being kind. though her smile only widens as she looks up to him, giving him a small nod.
“I’d like that, especially if you have some coffee.”
she needs her caffeine dose in the mornings, - and in the afternoons, evenings, all the time.

And he’s happy to take it from her. Always happy to help.
Every smile of hers is pretty, but she knew that already.
He bites back the knee-jerk response that immediately invades his head — not the time nor place — instead nodding and holding it with one hand.
“Better? You wanna come in?”

He’s always down for peace and scones. Catch him leaning his stick against the wall, and rolling the ball next to it with his foot.
