"jacob! it's so nice to see you! come in sweety"

"good evening, mrs carter, is lillian ready?"

"she'll be down in a minute, come have a seat! let me bring you the world's best cookies" she winked

i heard you laugh along with my mother about mindless matters. i think this was when you charmed your way into our family. 

i climbed down the stairs and saw you comfortably bonding over jokes and brownies.

i smiled.
it's been a long time since i've brought someone home.

"jacob. " your name left my lips

you got up suddenly, the plate of brownies shattering on the floor, your mouth agape, your eyes twinkling.

"lillian" my name barely a whisper on your tongue.
