LOOK HOW PERFECT

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

What are you mumbling about over there?

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

Hmm? Oh, nothing...Just about quitting my job, starting our own bakery, hyping children up on sugar at their own expense...That's all. So...Yes? You can be my taste tester. It's a big job, I need to make sure it gets your approval before I try serving it to your family. I need to go all out for our first Thanksgiving.

[riley-rileyno]

Bakeries are very fun! As are the holidays. And baked goods are always sweet. You should do it!

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

It would be throwing my degree out the window, that's the only thing. I didn't even minor in business. I'd have no idea where to start! Maybe this wasn't a good idea, I mean...I could always start selling from home first and see how it goes, right?

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

Halloween is next week and all I can think of are ideas for cookies for that, pies for Thanksgiving, and cookies for Christmas....Maybe I should just open up a bakery.

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

Uhm… Okay. I’ve mostly stayed in America and Europe. All the other places don’t count since I’ve only been there for a few weeks or months. 

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

Where was your favorite place? [Reaches for the glass she had just recently given him, taking a sip and then handing it back]  Would you want close to the beach or more downtown Mayfield?

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

I… It’s more like Russian roulette. I don’t really care what it looks like as long as everything works. I only picked this place because of the neighbors, they don’t mess with me very much. I’m not doing this right. 

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

Oh...Right. [Nods slowly, easing against him further] No, you're doing just fine. I just want you to be happy, Calvin. I don't want you settling because of me. [Pauses] ....So...What countries have you lived in?

[riley-rileyno]

I am quite the heavy sleeper. As much as I have been moving around, it is a bit of a requirement.

Oh, I am not one for coffee either. It makes my hands shake too much, and my head hurt. I think it is one of those acquired tastes.

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

A requirement? How's that?

Have you tried tea? I can't stand the taste of that, but I love coffee. Though, really, I put way too much sugar in my coffee. It probably isn't healthy. Actually, I know it isn't healthy, since I'm drinking two cups in the morning and sometimes another at work. Really, I-- [Stops abruptly and takes in a deep breath to collect her thoughts] ....I talk a lot, I'm sorry. You're probably standing there trying to think of ways to get away from this crazy stranger.

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

[easily takes the glass] Not exactly, but I’ll gladly finish it for you. [doesn’t drink it right away,a smirk lingers on his lips before her next questions. His eyebrows furrow together, the smirk faint as he shrugs] I don’t know. I don’t know what a dream house is really. No one ever sold their soul for a house. I don’t do much… Dreaming? 

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

[Shifts to lean back against him, curling up further in his lap and nuzzling her head against his shoulder] Well, think now then. You've been around a while, you've traveled...What makes you pick the places you stay? [Looks up at him and smiles, reaching a hand up to run it through his hair] The windows, the yard...What would you want? A larger kitchen? Victorian looking?

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

Mhmmmm. [keeps his arm around her but leans slightly forward to put his glass on the coffee table] You haven’t finished your drink yet, dear. We can do house stuff in the morning tomorrow.

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

[Leans with him, making a face at her glass] Is that your way of asking for it? [Smiles and holds it out to him]  What kind do you want, then? What would be your dream house?

[pbsmf-blog-deactivated20241029]

I have seen a couple of M*A*S*H episodes recently if that makes a difference. Though, technically they’re army doctors. Isn’t jet lag supped to wear off after a week? 

I was kidding slightly. Hey, maybe you’d start a trend if you actually did that. Make it more socially acceptable.

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

I don't think Calvin will buy that, I think he's been around since before that show was even in production. I think it's supposed to, but I'm still adjusting to the time zone difference. I think the whole 'newlywed' excitement hasn't worn off.

I wish I could, but that was how I went through college for the most part. It didn't catch on them, I was just called a lazy hobo. If I started showing up at work like that I know someone is going to try and say I'm expecting, and I'm definitely not.

[calvin-rodgers-blog]

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

What? I was talking too much, wasn't I? We don't have to take in every stray I look for. Whatever house you want I'll be happy with, besides it's not like-- [Stops] ...I'm rambling again.

[andy--burns-blog]

It’s uh—- yeah it’s not the flu. Trust me, I don’t get sick like that. The other blood it uh— sorta treats me like a vessel. Keeps me healthy. So, yeah, no I don’t get sick like the flu.

This is just…yeah. Just Hyde making me feel like crap is all. I am me right now, though! This is Andy. Not…not Hyde. 

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

Andy...[Frowns] I'm sorry. I don't know what else to say, he can't be removed, exactly, so I can't offer that...Do you have any control over when he does his thing?  [Holds out her mug further] It's like a warm hug, here. Unless you want a hug? I don't know if you do. I mean, if you do I can give you a hug, but I'm not sure if you're a hugger.

[riley-rileyno]

It used to happen to me, often. I would fall asleep on a stool, in the middle of a show. It was quite the sight for the concertgoers.

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

I couldn't imagine it with the sound happening at a concert. I'm behind a desk at work and whenever I can play music it has to be quiet, so...Yeah, it's just asking for a nap. I've upped my coffee intake, but all it does is make me jittery when I am awake.

[pbsmf-blog-deactivated20241029]

Maybe it’s your body’s way of telling you it’d rather be in Italy.

But to be honest, is that really any different from your usual self?

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

I should tell Calvin that. Do you have a PhD? Maybe I can say it's doctor's orders.

Oh that's not nice! ....Well slightly. I only napped at home, not at work. If given the chance, I'd live in sweats and eat Taco Bell all day.

[evangeline-rodgers-blog]

We've been back long enough, yet I'm still not used to the time zone change. All I want to do is snack and sleep. I swear the other day I took a nap in my chair at work.
