The rhythmic knock on Daryl's door brings glee to both his and the kids faces assisted with a quickened tail wag from Dog. Daryl gets up from the couch and unlocks the door to let her in.
Evening. Connie smiles, signing to him.
Daryl's rugged face makes a smile he only shares with her, he holds the door as she walks in to hug the kids who have sprung up behind Daryl in case of any details they were to miss.
Judith and RJ hug Connie with such a force Connie feels like she could snap under the pressure, the hug was tight and loving just how she liked it. The kids released her shortly after a gently kiss on each of their foreheads from Connie.
How was school? Connie signs, Rj nodding intensely in an attempt to understand what she's saying.
Judith looks to Daryl for help, "school?" She asks him, he nods as a response, "it was good thank you" she speaks and attempts to sign to Connie.
Connie smiles, her signing is improving. She turns to Daryl and smiles. Learn anything good?
"She asked if you learned anything good?" Daryl translates, heading to the kitchen to se what they've got for dinner.
"I learned about grammar and punctuation, Rj learned his multiplications." Judith speaks for them both. Connie reads their lips nodding.
Good, maybe I can help with your homework later. Connie smiles, pointing over to the books on the coffee table, Judith follows her indication and nods.
"Help with our homework?" She says, Connie nods. "Awesome! Thanks aunt Connie!"
Connie smiles, patting Judith's shoulder and ruffling RJ's hair before making her way to the kitchen with Daryl.
"Jude how 'bout you and RJ set the table for dinner and let dog out for a bit, I'll shout u from the balcony when dinners ready." Daryl suggests, getting dinner prep out for them all. Judith raises an eyebrow and Connie looks to him.
Manners? She signs.
He rolls his eyes, "Please."
Judith sighs before ushering RJ up, "okayyy, cmon RJ."
As Judith and Rj set the table, Daryl and Connie begin food preparations for dinner.
Can you chop the vegetables? Daryl asks Connie as he prepares the meat. Connie nods and heads to the sink to wash them first before heading over to the chopping board.
Daryl watches as Judith sets the knifes and forks out whilst Rj sets the plates and glasses, He smiles, they're good kids. Once they finish Judith grabs her coat and whistles for dog.
"Here boy, let's go outside." She opens the front door whilst Rj heads out, dog following behind.
"Stay safe!" Daryl says, Connie gives a wave as the kids walk out.
Connie pours the sliced vegetables into a pot of boiling water on the hob and stirring them around to get them soaked. Daryl stands beside her, frying the meat in the pan at the other side of the hob.
Stayin' after dinner? Daryl signs, beds lonely. His face settles with a smirk.
Beds lonely or are you? She returns the same smirk, placing the wooden spoon on the counter as she turns to face him.
Maybe me. Daryl signs before flipping the meat over in the plan.
Connie laughs to herself, kissing his cheek, yeah I'll stay, more of an excuse to steal your clothes.
