drops a dozen limes in front of him , kneels to pick them up. doesn't have to look clumsy because she's definitely clumsy right now. finally gathers them up in her arms , is definitely looking sheepish because she can't believe she's doing this. looks up at him , tries to keep eye contact & says , ❛ sorry , i'm bad at pick up limes. ❜
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❛ a-ah.. ❜ he starts to kneel down and help not really knowing what to do , she looks like she’s struggling until she full on meets his gaze and says something he would never have put past HER saying so much as FATHER . h-how is he supposed to respond to thAT?!?! breathe . he stammers ❛ wha- that’s- I- ❜ red as a beet he snags one she missed . ❛ I - I guess that’s .. okay cause I’m - sorta ... happy to ... uh pick up wh- .. whatever it is you drop. ❜
