darling i'm a nightmare ;

“Oh, well, that sounds like a close knit family. Besides, siblings aren’t always as nice as they might sound.” He joked a bit with a laugh. “Erotic cakes? Seems like that should at least be a little interesting. Keeps things from being boring.” 

“Oh, don’t have any siblings?” He asked. Shaking his head, he adjusted in his spot before turning his attention to her once more. “No, I want to hear what’s going on in the baking world.” 

“Alright, alright,” Charles chuckled, raising his hands as if in defense before turning his attention to the cookie.

“Honestly? Same old, same old. Yourself?”

“Like I’d ever betray you like that,” Nick scoffed dramatically, clutching at his heart for emphasis. “You really think that of me?” At Scarlett’s suggestions, he found himself noting them down mentally with a small smile. “Those all sound pretty good. I just hope she likes the gesture.”

“Well it’s certainly not your fashion sense,” she teased back. “But thanks to me that might change.”

“I uhh, I take care of pigs, at the zoo. And they are very particular pigs…”

“Only sometimes, but that’s just some brotherly competition for ya’.” He commented with a small laugh. “So anyway! You were talking about baking?” 

“I think that is definitely Darcy in your head, I’m not sure you’d make such a comment if it weren’t for her influence.” Judy teased the other, looking at herself in the mirror before turning back to her friend. “Okay, so maybe they do flatter… certain aspects of my body, but when am I going to wear them. Give me three occasions and I’ll seriously consider the purchase.”

“Thank you.” Taylor nearly chirped out, happy that they weren’t out of the flavour. She looked at the girl with a curious expression though as she watched her get the muffin ready for her. “You said you’d be the last person? May I ask why? Believe me, you don’t have to answer me if I’m overstepping. I tend to that a lot.” Taylor added with a small smile.

Woody laughed and nodded his head. “Always have been. Even when my brother was younger, he’d be trying to compete with me in everything we did.” He continued. “And with it being just the two of us now, it’s kind of something that closes the distance between us.” 

“I uhh….i was just rereading the text i was about to send…about the pigs…

“You think so? Aren’t they a little too- pink and high. I’m not used to wearing anything taller than a sneaker.”

“Well I guess I can commend you on your honesty.”

“Maybe I should get cookies or pastries shaped like badges?” he chuckled “Well, we went out for a meal together. Then took a walk and just kind of talked about what everything was like in the police academy before getting to this point. Not sure what kind of permanent present could come from that. Perhaps I could frame the picture we took together that first day? I dunno.”

“I am certainly holding you to it,” he replied, chuckling as he slid over her beer.

“You say to-may-to, I say to-mah-to,” was his response, followed by a shrugging gesture.
