“Have you heard much about this volunteer week coming up?” Emily asked the person next to her, holding out her phone to show them the post. “I’m torn, part of me wants to try to do something big but at the same time I wouldn’t mind offering my time for more free piano lessons. I really usually only hold lessons for kids but I know there are plenty adults who might like to learn. Do you think that’d count for something?”

“It’s nothing really it’s the least I can do.” Fawn spoke genuinely, offering the other an assuring smile. It was obvious to her that it wasn’t just the little creature she had to worry about at the moment. Emily looked pretty shaken up by the whole thing, which of course was understandable. “Hey it’s alright little guy-” The brunette spoke softly to the small animal as she carefully unwrapped the swaddle so she could get a little closer look at the animal. “It’s okay Em really, I don’t think you’re crazy. It’s amazing you brought him in to see someone, not everyone would have done that.” Which was true, she’s seen enough animals who people had obviously neglected or had seen and left to fend for themselves. The fact that Emily had wanted to help him let alone call Fawn to ask for help was wonderful in her eyes. It showed she cared, which was all the brunette could ever ask for. “Are you okay though? It must have been a shock for you. There is a bathroom and kitchen around the back if you wanted a minute and a drink while I have a look at him.”

For a moment all Emily could do was watch Fawn take the little guy and unwrap him to examine him. He was so tiny and other than helping her parents growing up when they were trimming her dog’s nails, she had absolutely no experience whatsoever helping animals so on top of having no idea what to do, she couldn’t imagine working on something so small. Emily found herself drifting away from her thoughts, it wasn’t until after a minute or two she even realized Fawn had spoken to her. “Hmm?” she replied, looking at her, probably a little wide eyed. “Oh, yeah, yeah,” she nodded, “I’m okay, yeah I’m fine, I mean it’s a little scary. He’s tiny and I was so scared of hurting him more by picking him up, it’s a wonder he didn’t try to scurry away, I was afraid for a minute that he might try to jump out of my arms. But thank you, I may get some water, that might help..” the brunette declared with a nod before disappearing for a moment to get a glass of water. She wasn’t gone long though, a part of what Fawn did fascinated her so fif it was just for moral support, Emily wanted to be close by.

“Of course black is a spring color. It’s spring and I’m wearing it, therefore it’s a spring color.”

“Honestly I’m just so glad there’s someone who gets me. Don’t get me wrong, I quite enjoy the bright colors of the flowers but.. I’m still going to wear my blacks and dark blues. I just can’t help myself.”

When Fawn had gotten the call from Emily, of course her response was yes. The last thing she was going to do was not help a friend or animal in need. She headed back to work and unlocked it, because as much as she’d be willing to help at home, Fawn highly doubted Dessa would want a squirrel in their apartment. Which was fair enough. Hearing the knock, the brunette opened the door, concern laced in with her soft smile as she greeted Emily. “Hey no no- don’t worry it’s okay you did the right thing.” Fawn spoke softly touching her arm briefly before stepping aside to let her in. “Just come in and set the little guy on the table carefully for me. Can I ask what happened?”

“You’re truly an angel.” Emily said with a sigh of relief upon seeing Fawn’s face. Emily was probably overreacting but she just wanted to know the little fella was gonna be okay. “Thank you, thank you.” she said softly as she moved through the room and carefully set the swaddled animal on the counter. It was a wonder it wasn’t trying to scurry away at the moment. “I think he fell from a short tree or off the top of a fence?” she said, “I was out behind our apartment and heard some rustling by the fence that separates the complex and found this little guy. I was terrified I thought he was dead for a second but saw him breathing. Oh gosh, Fawn you probably think I’m crazy, I was just so worried.”

[hopxscotch]

“Oh no no no...” Emily whispered softly to herself as she looked at the little creature in her arm. While the poor little fella wasn’t in dire need, Emily hadn’t necessarily known that at the time and was absolutely freaking out. In reality the little squirrel only had an injured leg but erring on the side of caution, Emily immediately called Fawn and asked about coming over. With the young squirrel wrapped in a towel in her arms, Emily knocked softly on the door and held back a few sniffles. She was just too concerned. When Fawn greeted her, Emily tried not to seem too frantic but she wasn’t hiding it well. “I’m so sorry, I just didn’t know where else to go or what to do..” | @forrestingfawn​

Liam listened contently as the woman spoke but couldn’t help but splutter with laughter as she used the word ‘dashing. “Wow,” He ran his hand over his hair. “I mean there definitely are people who use it, but they’ve usually a few more wrinkles on their face and grey hairs on their head,” Liam laughed against and shrugged. “Thanks though. I’m not really someone to do things by half. You’re not so bad yourself.”

“That’s true,” Emily nodded and a shrug followed. Sometimes she felt like a bit of an old soul so that probably explained a lot. Once again her gaze landed on his costume. The details were like something out of a movie or from a costume in a play. “It’s beautiful, seriously.” she admired not only the outfit itself but his choice to wear such a bold outfit. “It definitely shows and it’s not a bad look on you. Not many men can pull it off so good on you.” A grin appeared across her lips as she looked back at her own dress. It wasn’t half as detailed as many of the other gowns she had seen over the course of the night but she felt comfortable. “Thank you, though. It’s not much but I didn’t have anyone to impress but myself.”

Liam immediately laughed at the woman’s reaction to being caught. “I think you were looking at me,” He raised his eyebrows teasingly with a light smirk on his face. “But it’s okay,” The man took a step back and then span to show his look. “It’s certainly a statement but I think that’s why I like it.”

As soon as Liam called her out her cheeks turned a deep shade of pink and she couldn’t react fast enough to shield it from his sight. Emily had to admit she was relieved when he stepped back to show off his look - it did look very fancy. “It’s a good kind of statement, that’s for sure. You pull it off very well, you look rather.. dashing.” she grinned, “Dashing?” she repeated, more as a question to herself. “Do people even say that word anymore?”

As they continued to stare, Liam turned his head quickly so they had no chance to look away. He caught their eyes and raised his eyebrows before taking a couple of steps in their direction. “Can I help?”

Emily honestly hadn’t even realized that she had indeed been staring until she heard Liam’s voice aimed in her direction. While one hand was occupied with another nearly empty glass of champagne, Emily’s free hand made its way to her face and she turned her head slightly to the side, completely embarrassed. Usually Emily wasn’t one to stare but tonight she was clearly off her game and a bit tipsy. “Damn..” she muttered under her breath. “Uh, no. No it’s alright, I uh.. I wasn’t looking at you.” she lied, “I was uhm, looking behind you. Yeah. definitely not at you.”

Liam chuckled. He knew that Emily understood it. The event industry was a manic one at that. “Well that’s something at least. It’s good to make sure you still have time to breathe,” He said with a firm nod before sighing dramatically. “Working an event or two, whisked a few people away. Nothing of note though. Nothing permanent.”

“It is, especially because I usually don’t. Last year I almost missed an event because I had nearly overbooked myself.” Emily gave a small shrug as she recalled that weekend. At the time it felt like the worst day every but looking back now it’s just ridiculous she even did it. “And you’re telling me you had multiple dates and none of them were worth keeping around long term? That’s a shame, or, well, it also maybe isn’t. I can’t find the time to focus on one person right now, I can’t imagine keeping up with a few.”

“Yeah, Valentine’s was pretty busy,” Liam said with an ever so slight smirk before then shrugging his shoulders. “Calmed down for a moment now though. How’ve you been?”

Emily nodded. She had three venues booked to play for over the weekend so to say she was exhausted was an understatement. “Busy is a good word to describe how I’ve felt.” The brunette nodded and pushed a bit of hair behind her ear. “Though not as busy as I thought it might be, honestly I expected more but I’m glad it’s over. Did you have any special plans?”
