“Don’t you know I gotta find me a home right now in your heart. I’ll travel over mountains and down highways. Through the valleys, every byways. Just to find me a home in your heart. I’ll bring you pretty flowers, candy moonbeams. Fill your nights with love and sweet dreams. When I, when I find my home in your heart. We’ll make sweet pretty music while birdies sing. Tie a love knot with a heartstring.” - Solomon Burke
“I’m just not a fan,” Peter pouted like a child, leaning back in his desk chair.
You huffed and crossed your arms, tapping your foot annoyedly as your eyes shifted back and forth from Peter to Cindy. You weren’t sure why Cindy was here, but her eyes were red and puffy and she was knitting like crazy in the corner chair that she’d marked for her own ever since returning.
You’d never asked, and Peter had never said, but you got the feeling Cindy was going through something that was more emotional than she’d care to admit. You knew Peter was helping her with it and you trusted him, but you sometimes caught ticks in Cindy’s demeanor from the hardcore stoic hero. And you knew the look on someone’s face when they’d been crying.
