Pirates! (One-on-One)

"I did," he said smoothly, looking a little embarrassed as he set the basket down. "And a blanket."

 

"Yeah," he said with a nod, spreading out the blanket. "Except on a pirate ship."

 

He sat down next to her and opened the basket while Aubrey tugged on his hair.

"We have... soup... and sandwiches... and cheese... and bread..."

 

He looked up in surprise, a small flush on his cheeks.

"I'm sorry it's not more, but I have some coffee in here too. And some cream. And sugar. And water."

 

He looked over at her with a shy grin.

"Really?"

 

"Good," he said, bouncing Aubrey on his lap as he opened a jar of applesauce. "I'm glad to hear it. Are you hungry?"

 

"That one's grilled cheese on sourdough. We also have ham and swiss."

 

"Gotcha. Want some soup?"

 

He pulled out a thermos and poured her a bowl, sliding it over to her.

 

"I have spoons too."
