Find Me On the Other Side

She frowned, looking over him and pulling the blanket over her shoulders.

"Astute observation, Adonis."

 

"No, no," she said, waving him off as she picked up the empty mugs. "I got it. You just sat down. Drink your tea."

 

She huffed, shrugging off the blanket and beginning to fold it systematically.

"You're a guest here."

 

She pursed her lips before tossing the neatly folded blanket at his face.

 

"You're not saying anything!" she said with mock exasperation. "You're just sticking your tongue out!"

 

Gwen followed him, protesting.

"Adonis, please don't clean my house. You realize how bonkers that is, right?"

 

"Yes, of course it is," she said with a frown. "This isn't your responsibility."

 

"I know, I know," she said, waving him off. "And I really appreciate it, you know I do. But it isn't your job to clean up my home."

 

She patted his head playfully before heading back into the kitchen.

 

There came the sound of washing dishes and clanging pots and pans.
