bent at the knee, francisco hovered above a tray of seedlings with a watering can in hand. “so, your root system is going to suck up all this water, the roots are like your mouth, and you’re going to get what you need, do some photosynthesizing, and then it’s going to transpire out of you, like you’re urinating.” the conversation wasn’t loud, but it was loud enough for anyone less than five feet away to understand that it was a conversation with the plants. he stood when he was done watering them, brushing his palms on his jeans. “oh, fuck,” a murmur under his breath before he cleared his throat, “hey – didn’t expect you to drop by today… didn’t expect anyone.”
with an eyebrow raised, gabriella couldn’t hide the amusement that was playing on her features. the smile tugging at the corners of her lips only added to it. she had simply came in to say hi to a friend while she had a free afternoon, but she hadn’t expected to walk in on him whispering to his plants. she did admire his dedication to his work. “if i’m interrupting something i can come back later. i can give you guys some privacy.” she teased. the same smile never left her lips even as she spoke. “i hope it’s okay i stop by. i finished work early today, so i have a free afternoon.” she walked around, eyeing the seedlings. “what are they?” gabriella didn’t know much about plants or nature of that sort, she was a more technology kind of girl, but that didn’t stop her from asking questions.
