"The cat is looking at me funny."

“Cali or Lily?”Sarah peered over from the oven after she placed a cake on the rack inside.“I doubt either of them would be looking at you funny for no reason though, they both love you.”She turned around then, deciding to lean against the counter with a soft smile,“Maybe you smell like fish, Aurelio.”

Sarah was worried. Worried enough to not be able to sleep. Sometimes it was better— though this was one of the worst while Aurelio had been gone so long. It just made her so antsy and restless. Though she didn’t know what to do about it, so she went to Alma, and she had calmly reassured her as she whined to the nephilym over missing him— pining and worrying over a demon who’s obviously going to come back."Why am I so worried though— I can’t sleep, I feel like something’s wrong, and I can’t do anything—”"Shh, it’s okay, he’s okay, you’re thinking too much— come here."The woman did as she was told quietly as she was drawn into Alma’s arms into a hug and she sighed and then they were sitting down and Alma’s voice soothed her as she sang. She didn’t quiet understand them— but the words enveloped her in calmness, reassurance, and she couldn’t help but to close her eyes.When she opened them next, however, it was morning, and Aurelio was relaxing next to her, stroking her hair, with a calm smile. She merely snuggled into him, thanking Ally in her mind, and fell back asleep as his arms wrapped around her.

"I won’t let you be on your own, not when you’re like this."

Sarah stared up at the demon, wondering at his refusal, tears falling willingly from her eyes as she scooted in closer to the man and to cry into his chest.”..thank you…”The words were muttered, quiet, as she tried to control her sobs.

It'll help if you talk about it

"Will it?"Sarah shifted nervously on her feet, only to sit down next to Aurelio, messing with her hands quietly."I mean— usually I just— I don’t know.."

"You'll carry it with you if you want to survive.'

"—okay but.."The woman sighed, rubbing at her head as she leaned back in her seat.”..what if I don’t want— nevermind, forget it, stupid question.”Imelda got up then, stretching her arms before she leaves to a different room.

Fingers, knee

Nathan laughed quietly and patted Aurelio on the shoulder."I’m glad the feelings are mutual, my friend— if you ever need anything, I’m here for you."

[sarahahayes]

"It's hard to dance with the devil on your back."

Sarah hummed quietly in a questioning tone, brows furrowing and her nose scrunching up and she shifted on the couch with a bit of hesitation."—I doubt that when he barely weighs a thing."It’s said quietly, obviously directed at him, as she peered back at him with a cheerful smile."Or maybe it’s just the clown shoes?"

Sarah sincerely didn’t think this was necessary, but Sarina insisted— more so for her mom’s sake than her own. She wasn’t even nervous; she knew her mom would like Aurelio but the moment she knocked on the door and walked in she had a weird feeling in her gut, as if somebody had started feeding her toxic balls of dough that started to clog up her throat and body. Apparently Aurelio had sensed that because he had smiled at her reassuringly and kissed her forehead— of course he knew, when doesn’t he know? "Mom, this is Aurelio— Sari, shut up— Rel, this is my mom."At Sarah’s side comment, Sarina had obviously burst out with laughter, even as she attempted to hide her laughing lips behind her hand. Which didn’t work. At all. And Sarah sighed deeply as Aurelio took her mother’s hand and kissed it lightly with a smile."A pleasure, Mrs. Hayes.""Oh—oh, call me Lilian. You’re such a sweetheart, no wonder my Sare loves you."Sarah sighed at that, the red forming on her face as she shifted in place, suddenly getting restless— though that obviously didn’t stop her mom from taking out the photo album and her mom and twin from talking about her with Aurelio for what seemed like a really long time. She nearly had to question why she came here to begin with before she was pulled into her partner's lap with a happy laugh.
