You're Not Alone

April’s eyes narrow. Charlotte she tries, mouth curving in a smile, “Of course we wouldn’ be. C'mon darlin’, come away from th'papers. They ain’t goin’ anywhere.

"I got you a little something..."

"You look adorable in that."

"Flowers? For me?"

"Close your eyes. I have a surprise for you."

"I know you had a long day, so I took care of dinner."

"I did a little shopping at the naughty store."

"Let's cuddle and be sluggish all night long."

"Did I tell you you're beautiful, today?"

"I already ordered pizza for tonight."

"Candles, rose petals and champagne? What's the occasion."

"I can't believe that you fell in love with me."

"What is the one thing you absolutely, positively wanted?"

"Time to bury ourselves in blankets and ignore the rest of the world."

"Gimme that phone. It's getting shut off."

"You did all this for me?"

"Normally I hate surprises, but you did good."

"You just made my terrible day not so terrible."

"I will protect you, no matter what."

"Let's get a little tipsy for science."

"Wow. You look amazing."

"If it wasn't for the fact that I am so happy I would be suspicious right now."

"I love you so much."

"Shall we climb into bed?"

"You tried and that's what counts."

"I just want to curl up into your arms and sleep for days."

"I just have one question for you; ice cream or popcorn?"

"We should go to the festival!"

"You're not going anywhere without me. Especially anywhere dangerous."

April watches, green eyes amused behind her glasses, she strides around to lean a hip against Charlotte’s desk, “Well, I dunno sug’, thought it’d be nice t'get away with th'love of m'life. Away from pryin’ children eyes. Maybe have a conv'sation that didn’t in some way involve gradin’ papers or pubescent problems…?” She reached a hand out to tuck an errant strand of hair behind Charlotte’s ear.
