#bennett foster.

          THERE IS A CLEAR shopping list clutched tightly in kim’s hands, several things she needed around the house before the day was done. most of the items on the list are checked off, resting safely in the trunk of her car while she grabbed the rest, which led her to the foster’s pet store, running dangerously low on dog food and treats and, after the week she’s had and how much peach had been putting up with kim’s mood swings, she knew the pup certainly deserved plenty of the latter. pushing open the door, the statement is quick to leave her lips, ❝ excuse me — ❞ eyes scanned the store for a moment before resting on the man behind the counter, losing her train of thought for a moment as heart skipped a beat in her chest and flush covered her cheeks. ❝ sorry. would you be able to help me out ? ❞ she attempted to cover the pause quickly.     /     @havocbled.

          SHE WANTS TO TELL him no, that she was perfectly capable of coping by herself as she had always done, that this was her burden to bare and hers alone. it was what she knew best, and yet… there was a larger part of her that didn’t want to turn him away, his kind eyes and the gentle expression he offered her in this moment. so finally, kim settled for something in-between, an offer that still left bennett an out, should he choose to take it. ❝ i couldn’t possibly ask you do that. ❞ but she shifted the box of things she was meant to sort through to the floor in front of her, making room for him beside her. ❝ i’d love your company, however, if you wouldn’t mind joining me ? ❞
