“you fix it then, since i’m pretty sure you broke it.” the grumpiness of his tone is betrayed but the softness of his gaze. tessa was one of his few weakspots, kid had lived a life of constant letdowns, though her father had tried his damndest to do right by her and… something about that made him feel sympathetic. and he wouldn’t be making her fix the door in any way shape or form.
besides, he could only imagine the comments he would get if he did make her do that.
“yeah, yeah, fuck off. least i’m sleeping.”
Green eyes rolled. “Yeah, me and not the big meat heads that come by.” But nonetheless the Texan popped up on the toes of her aged cowboy boots and began to fiddle with the hinge. She chucked a rusted screw to the floor, hissing as she pinched the pad of her fingers. “And I sleep plenty. And in a bed or on a couch.” When she actually could anyways. Nightmares were a bitch.
