"Well now, it's so very nice to meet you Poppy, my names Mary cooper, that's my husband George, the eldest in the family, George Junior, my twins Missy, and Sheldon!" Mary introduced her kids to Poppy who grinned at each of them, except Sheldon.

"I'll leave Poppy in your hands from now on, and don't worry, she's an easy going gal!" Professor Boucher gleefully spoke before bidding farewell to both Mr. And Mrs. Cooper. He didn't want to stay in the same roof as Sheldon, not after what happened last time.

Mary guided Poppy to the dinner table and sat her down right next to Sheldon's seat, in which Sheldon had to complain about. "Your sitting her next to me? Can't you sit her next to Missy? Or anyone else honestly, I don't mind." his mother sends him a glare before sitting down on her own side of the table while Sheldon groaned at the way no one was listening to him.

Missy appeared with a few bowls, one had mashed potatoes and the other was steak, the one Georgie brought in were just fried vegetables, mostly beans. "Before we start, Georgie, could you gather some plates?"

"On it ma!" the eldest shouted as he jogged his way into the kitchen, while he was gathering the plates, Mary decided to ask Poppy a few questions. "So, Poppy, I heard from Professor Boucher that your as smart as Shelly here!" Mary enthusiastically stated.

"I wouldn't say I'm as smart as Sheldon, even with the IQ of 197, I barely use much of it, mostly because my school back in Houston was awful." Poppy chuckled slightly as Georgie soon returns with plates in his hands. He placed it on the table mats and sat back down, Mary then grabs ahold of Missy's hand and her husbands hand and asked to say Grace.

"Of course if Poppy doesn't want to say Grace, then she can start without us!" Mary insisted as Poppy shook her head shyly. "Don't worry about it, I'm a Christian." as soon as she says that, Sheldon was about to grab his mittens, only for Poppy to snatch his hand.

Which made the entire table fall silent.

Poppy noticed the uncomfortable silence, and the look of fear in their eyes, and so, she questions them. "Is something wrong?" she eyed the others then glanced over at Sheldon who had his eyes wide open, staring at the way she held his hand.

"Oh..." Poppy realises that maybe Sheldon didn't like physical contact and quickly released him from her grasp, Sheldon stared at his hands, deep in shock as whatever happened slowly sink into him.

"If your wondering, I washed my hands with alcohol just a few moments ago, so don't worry about it." she reassured as Sheldon snapped his head towards her. "Alcohol?" he questioned in confusion. "Yeah, Alcohol." she responded before digging into her sweaters pocket and showing off a small spray.

"You can have it if you want, my mom bought it for me back in Houston, it kills 99% of the germs." she explains as Sheldon stared at it for a few seconds, somewhat impressed at how Poppy was keeping herself clean. "That's great, all of us should use this before we eat, including Georgie." Sheldon chimned in as Mary sighed at his words.

"Let's say Grace."

Sheldon didn't bother to wear his other mittens, he held Poppy's hand without another thought after being reassured by it, and for some odd reasons, Sheldon felt a little tingle within his stomach as soon as his skin connected with Poppy's.

He thought maybe he was just hungry.

But who knows.
