Jesse stood outside Evie's house, fidgeting and knocking lightly. He'd taken the time to shower and shave in a campground's restroom, and he cold only hope he looked satisfactory.
One always had to look nice for one's woman.
Silas stood beside his father, holding his hand with a thornless rose clutched in the other tiny fist. He'd grown to like Miss Evie. He really had.

The door sprang open quite quickly. Perhaps Evie had been sitting in wait? Evie smiled at both men, giving Jesse a little squeeze before leaning down to hug Sy gently.
"Thanks for coming to see me."

Jesse gave that odd, sweet smile of his and Sy giggled, wrapping hs arms around Miss Evie's neck for a moment.
"I bo'ot you a fowa!"
"Any time," Jesse smiled. Ah, love.It made you do strange things. Like buy a polo shirt.

Evie scooped Sy up, grinning at him. "Well, thank you for the flower! I think that I just happened to pull some cookies out of the oven. Do you know anyone who likes chocolate chip cookies, Sy?"
She reached out one hand and gave Jesse's arm a little squeeze and a grin. "Nice shirt."

Jesse colored slightly and laughed.
"Uh...thanks."
Silas, however, looked to be in awe. His hands flew over his mouth, pink eyes going wide.
"Miss Ebie, Miss Ebie!" he said, practically bouncing, "Miss Ebie, I like tockolat cookie!"

Evie gasped. "Awesome! Because I have a bunch in there that I need help eating." My God, this little boy was precious. She stepped back inside the house with her little stolen bundle of Sy, waiting for Jesse to follow. The whole house smelled of cookies, with a hint of lemon as well.

Jesse stepped in and inhaled the sweet scents. Oh, yes.
"You treat us so well..."

Giggling, Evie lead them into the little kitchen, past the sleeping Horatio who was on the couch. There was a plate of Chocolate chip cookies on the table, and Evie put Sy down in the chair so she could go to the fridge.
"Oh, I enjoy it. Would you guys like lemonade or milk?"

Sy bounced happily and leaned over, taking a cookie and nibbling. Mmm. Nummy.
"Miwk!" he said, mouth full. Jesse just snorted.
"Lemonade for me, please."
Sy made a face. Ew. Sour.

Evie laughed at him, pouring a little glass full of milk and setting it on the table before getting a glass of lemonade for Jesse.
"Here you are... And to find a vase for Sy's flower..."

Jesse took the glass and smiled, following Evie as she wandered. Pretty lady, pretty hair, pretty neck.

She wandered over to the counter, climbing up on it before retrieving a little vase from the upper cabinets. She hopped back down carefully, turning around and smiling at Jesse.
"Is it good? I made it earlier this morning." She asked, nodding to the juice as she added some water to her vase.

Jesse wrapped an arm around Evie, far enough from anything inappropriate to be even vaguely friendly. He smiled and kissed the top of her ear.
"It is."
Sy, cookie in mouth, slid out of his chair and toddled over to his napping fuzzy. He waited there, sanding, watching, nibbling.

A slow smile moved over Evie's face and she leaned against Jesse lightly, looking up. Mmmm, Jesse.
"Good." Was all she could really think to say, blushing lightly. Awwww.
The fuzzy in question kicked his leg a few more times, snoring.

"Hor-a-sho," Sy said, prodding at the Fuzzy's belly, "Hor-a-sho. Wake up."
Jesse just smiled, swaying slightly, and put his glass down to hold Evie with both arms. No words, just loves.
