fiona

they sit on the couch with a movie on and a fire started. she's barely known eljah for a month, but she feels like she may hate him a little less. "we should make s'mores."

"s'mores? what are those?" he's been in a surprisingly decent mood today without as many insults, so they're off to a good start.

even though he can't see her, her mouth is hanging open as she stares at him in complete shock. "you've never had a s'more?"

"obviously not," he snaps, a sour frown forming on his face while he crosses his arms.

"they're toasted marshmallows with a few pieces of chocolate and put together in between two graham crackers."

"can we make some?"

fiona gets up and finds what they need. she hears the marshmallows up in the microwave, slightly disappointed at the warm weather creating an unlikely chance of building a fire. soon after making them, they're both sitting cross-legged on the couch, eating four s'mores at a time.

"these are amazing," he laughs, a sound that she's never heard before. "thank you."

the sound is beautiful.
