Hey there, stranger. Don't think I gotta explain the situation: you called, I didn't pick up. Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back to you.

[ Is she trying to hold herself back from grinning like a love sick teenager and at least moderately failing? Yes, yes she is. It's been easy to push him away for so long, and here he is saying that he intends to stay. She purses her lips for some resemblance of control, until she can actually speak again. ]

Then it's settled; no more sleepin' on the sofa.

[ It’s been years since Jesse saw her smile like that. Yeah sure, she’s trying to hold it back; but it shows through enough for him to know how she feels. He’d do a lot to make her smile like that again, he thinks. ]

Yes ma’am. Keep that bed warm for me, will you?

[cashe]

[ And likewise, she's actually started wanting to make him happy. It's an odd but welcome change. ]

I've heard it's stays warmer if you sleep naked, so keep that in mind cowboy.

[ She gives him a wink. ]

See you when you get home. [ And she doesn't even notice that she referred to her home like that, it feels so natural having him there. ]

[ Home. What they had used to be to one another, and that they've now somehow found together again. He can't name how it makes him feel, but it's near overwhelming just the same. ]

I'll be thinkin' of that for the rest of my shift, don't you doubt it.

[ He nods to her, his smile more full of genuine happiness than she's maybe ever seen it since arriving here. ]

See you soon.
