"You have before."

"Well, we're not in the greenhouse right now, so you're the only living thing that I could possibly be speaking to." 

[chefthomasmiller]

"Me? Really?"

[jadetova-blog]

"Who do you think I'm talking to, the plants?"

[chefthomasmiller]

"…..sorry."

[jadetova-blog]

"No, god no, don't be sorry."

"I love you too." 

[chefthomasmiller]

"Yeah? Well I love you."

[chefthomasmiller]

[jadetova-blog]

"I missed you." 

[chefthomasmiller]

"Yes, but not this time."

[jadetova-blog]

"Prove it."

[chefthomasmiller]

"That’s where you are wrong."

[jadetova-blog]

"Don't you know I'm always right?"

[chefthomasmiller]

"Of course I came back. I had a reason too."

[jadetova-blog]

"I'm glad something motivated you to return, cause it sure wasn't me."

[chefthomasmiller]

"What other ways?"

[jadetova-blog]

"....Uhhh I didn't expect you to ask."

"Because you are a mystery that still needs a lot of solving. Cause you have a passion for your work and...well you came back."

[chefthomasmiller]

"I do, but that’s what it makes me interesting."

[jadetova-blog]

"You are interesting for many other reasons, shush."

[chefthomasmiller]

"Nope. Just you."

[jadetova-blog]

"You are impossible, you know that?" 

[chefthomasmiller]

"Yeah to you…"

[jadetova-blog]

"Can't you just take the niceness you give to me and fake it to the rest of the world?"

[chefthomasmiller]

"That requires me to be nice."

[jadetova-blog]

"You are fully capable of being nice. I've seen it, so don't try and lie."

[chefthomasmiller]

"Fascinating…"

[jadetova-blog]

"You could feign interest ya know."

Who new I had a green thumb. This far into summer and I’ve managed to keep these guys alive.

[jadetova-blog]

I'm very impressed. Those aren't the easiest to take care of either.

He couldn’t help but look at her hand in his. Her words hit him hard and he met her beautiful eyes not sure what to say. He’s changed because of her. “It tells me that I’m in over my head.” Thomas said softly, not breaking eye contact.

[jadetova-blog]

Jade met his gaze right back, and knew for sure she was right. "Maybe, but so am I," she said with a little shrug and pathetic smile.

[chefthomasmiller]

He wasn’t sure what to say after that so he just nodded his head and looked back down at the floor. with a sigh he pushed him off of the counter and said, “I should go.”

[jadetova-blog]

Jade, more out of instinct than anything, grabbed his hand, holding him in place. "Not yet," she said more firmly than she expected to. "Do you know what that tells me Thomas?" She took a step towards him. "That there is a good man in there, twisted by his anger and hatred."
