Jesse does run warmer now due to the werewolf thing he has going, and he’ll gladly share that benefit with Ashe. Nevermind how he loves the feel of her at his side and how it makes his heart trip over itself in a truly cheesy, love song kind of way.

Like it so often does now, his thoughts turn towards the ring. The one he’d shoved down into a drawer in a panic, not knowing what to do with it and deathly afraid Ashe would see. And like he has been, he redirects his attention elsewhere. It’s not like she knows about it. No need to worry himself over it.

“I think what’s happenin’ is your expectations are getting a little too big. You gonna ask me to lasso the moon next?”

He starts off after B.O.B., keeping Ashe close as they go. If his luck holds out, they can walk the whole half hour there like this.

“I think I can manage if you can—because if I’m old, that means you are too y’know.”
