On the clock. I’ve been far too invested in a case as of late, and only finally have closed it.

I did not realize the day until now.

To her trade of the flower, his arm snakes around her shoulder, pulling her close.

“Have I snagged myself a fairy?” he teases, reaching to cup her chin beneath his fingers.

[𝙿𝙸𝙴𝚁𝙲𝙴, 𝙲𝙴𝙳𝚁𝙸𝙲 ( hiatus. ) @EGOTI5M]

⠀⠀
Oh, dearest, @flospomum——there’s a whistle down the corridor for you.

That would be lovely.

He’s feeling in the particular mood for a picnic, should that be something the other would enjoy, too.
⠀

[Avery @FauxSolo]

Getting some fresh air would be refreshing.

How is his availability? A weekend outing would be nice.

Perhaps it might serve him well to indulge in outdoor activities.

Shall they schedule something?
⠀

[Avery @FauxSolo]

Those particular flowers are very pretty.

This time of year is rather good for outdoor activities like camping and hiking.

How sweet of her. He loves it.

Might she make one for the cat as well?

He can’t help but smile.

How precious she is. To her, he cups her cheek, gently rubbing his thumb against her rosy flesh.

[𝙿𝙸𝙴𝚁𝙲𝙴, 𝙲𝙴𝙳𝚁𝙸𝙲 ( hiatus. ) @EGOTI5M]

⠀⠀
The flowers look wonderful this morning.

The ones from the crabapple trees at the park.

A picnic in this spring weather would be so lovely.

What kinds of flowers?

Despite the firm hand on his head, Pierce was still quite gentle, even going as far as gently ruffling his locks beneath his thumb. A sigh.

“. . .No, I won’t be.”

Removing himself from the chair, he moved across to sit and offer the other his textbook. ▸
