“Sancha! We’re not done talking about this!” Her mom protested but it didn’t matter. Sunny quickly clicked off the call and set her phone to silent. 

“Seems like they don’t trust me with you.” I said pulling in close to her again. 

“Yeah well.. I don’t care.” Sunny shrugged as we nuzzled each other.

“I love you.”

“I love you too Ollie.”

“So what else should we do today?” I asked wrapping my arms around her again.

“Didn’t you have a gift for Lolly?” 

“Oh yeah, she probably would like that huh?” I laughed thinking of the little guitar I had hidden away for her in my truck. Seemed a good choice for our first Christmas together given how obsessed she’d become with mine.

It’s been storming a lot and the dogs don’t care for that so Sunny is distracting Tulip by training her.

S: “I know they are cute but don’t get too comfortable. We’ll just have to see how this goes.”

Yeah the dogs are getting on just fine.

“I didn’t know you had a kid.” Sancha was the first to speak. Neither of us really asked to continue walking on together - we just naturally fell into step. Despite my nerves around her there was an odd comfort to being at her side. 

“I didn’t know either.” I confessed but really didn’t want unload the specifics on her, “It’s been a long day.” 

“Oh…” She sighed, looking a bit weary herself. 

“How about you?” I asked, hoping that my mother hadn’t ruined her afternoon. 

“It’s been a long day.” She replied, and I didn’t press. Just as she had given me that luxury of privacy. 

“Sorry to hear that.” I said, guessing that my miserable company was better than nothing at that moment.
