you'll wonder how someone, who looked like she carried mountains on her shoulders, could crumble so easily in your arms like the tornado in her mind finally hit her and knocked her off her feet.

The apron gave her a small giggle . Dimples peaked from her cheeks , a smile graced Rios lips .
‶ I didn’t know you knew how to cook . ‶
She stepped inside , looking around interestedly .

⠀faint lock clickings heard beyond the wood ; audibly clumsy and rushed .
hinges of the door creaks when he swings it to an open . bright pink apron hanging off body .
“ .. oh !!!!! hi !!!!! come in —— come on . ”

|| I highly recommending imagining the things I write Rio saying in her voice at 1.5x speed.
I put a lot of dialogue for her because imagine it to be fast spoken if that makes any sense.

Bulky arms felt warm around her labored body . Something in his gaze showed the utmost love and adoration . It’s peace she hasn’t had in years .
It made her feel whole .

Hand snaked back . Bewilderment crossed Rio’s features and her arms crossed .
‶ Okkkkaayyy . . I guess . Is it for someone .ᐣ ‶
Tilting her head curiously now .

Rio laughed softly at it , placing a hand on its shoulder . The story didn’t matter too much .
‶ It’s . . different .ᐟ I don’t mind — it’s not the spots that make you enjoyable . ‶
ᅠ⠀
ᅠ⠀
what? is it the.. the ‘no-spots’ thing? it– it’s a long story. was messing around and chucked out too many spots and before i knew it they were.. gone?
( pausing for a moment, )
.. okay or maybe it isn’t that long– heh. 💧
ᅠ⠀
ᅠ⠀
‶ That sounds muy bueno . . thank you so much amor . ‶
A small exhale before a whole hearted smile covered her exhausted features .
‶ How was work .ᐣ ‶
ᅠ⠀
ᅠ⠀
Just as he thought it was, it definitely explained it in some way..maybe she just fell asleep earlier and had a bad dream, he thought. He knew that having the kind of job she had was tiring, mentally and physically.
"..then you rest, I'll make you some coffee, alright?"
ᅠ⠀
ᅠ⠀
A thought crossed her mind : what if she gave herself a moment of solace .ᐣ A moment of peace she could cherish .ᐣ
Rio sighed softly . . not understanding anything . How was this

Eyes lingered on a bag settled neatly on her doorstep .
‶ It’s nice to see you — Gwen — . What’s in the bag .ᐣ ‶
Curiously reaching to pick it up .

ᅠ⠀
he spoke was undeniably Jeff . It was his charisma and humor that brought a smile to her exhausted , confused face .
‶ . . . I’m so confused , amor . . . ‶

Tired eyes finally gained courage to look at him . His wife had soft brown pools that swirled with love ; this widow had shining jade eyes that lidded with labor . The way
