She was about halfway through moving things when he came back, having spent some time observing Jocelyn. Fife tipped her head back to grin up at him, thinking perhaps he had come to simply look. But she gasped and swatted at his hand as he moved the archly placed pebble. The fiend! Still, she was laughing as she pointedly put the pebble back in place.
It had been a long day, but she was feeling better. This was a good, quiet end to this day in particular. She didn't know why she had been so afraid of him knowing, thinking he might judge her for it the way she had judged herself. Of course he didn't. And of course he had come to the conclusion on his own. That it changed nothing was... a relief. It had driven so much of her life for so long, it was a weight shifted from her shoulders to have spent their evening in the same manner as every other before.
A soft smile remained idle on her features as she resumed her task. Though, she watched him more carefully now.
Don't you have a book to read? she asked, adding a flick of amusement at the end. Fife was trying to make as much of a rainbow as one could from the earth tones on the table, but would not admit that she liked it when he got playful back to her cattiness.
