Her word get a droll almost disappointed flicker to his face. One that never reaches into his eyes, that are light even for that fact they never lighten entirely at all. "I guess I can wait for you."
Like two whole minutes was something to endure through. For her.
"I'll grab us some water and start up the truck while you're taking in the sights," Steve tossed over a shoulder headed from the kitchen, off for his bedroom.
Pounding up the stairs like maybe the best part of this isn't how normal it feels.
The edge of her smile and the knowledge the hours will sort of melt away. That they could keep batting these words back and forth the whole time, and maybe between her and The Steps he won't think about for a while. Any of the crazy all of it he can't stop following the complicated loops and knots on.
Though it really will only take him seconds to change out of this and into shorts, shirt, shoes all for running. He still had a towel in the back of the truck, but a clean one might not hurt either.
