Sam as Columbo :)

* .  ♡           there’s a loud snort as she steps up next to @dtective​. the air was hot against her face. and the smell of farm had hit her nose as soon as they stepped out of the taxi. the backpack was causing her back to sweat and her childhood home stood before them. “ it is a little weird.  ” ellie replied a laugh this time leaving her. “ but don’t say that in front of my mother. ” the typical australian home was decked from top to bottom with christmas decorations and lights. there was also a bunch of fake snow covering the browning grass. no other house along the street would go all out like the white’s did. “ first time bringing you home for the christmas holidays and that’s what you call her house. ” she’s joking.

* .  ♡          the way his finger traces the scar that sits on the back of ellie’s hand makes a slight shiver run up her spine. it was still numb, feeling in that part of her hand probably will never come back. head falls back to lean against @dtective​‘s shoulder, as she watches archie move his index finger from her middle knuckle to just below her thumb, tracing the scar. “ knife accident. ” she mumbles, coming to rest her glass of wine against the arm of the couch. “ was only my second week at school and i sliced open my hand in the kitchen. ” there’s a soft snort as she turns her head slightly to look up at him. “ my teacher wasn’t too impressed but she was impressed over the fact that i didn’t pass out at the sight of that much blood. ”

        SHE BLINKS ONCE, TWICE   . . .   GROGGY AND CONFUSED BY HIS WORDS.        the  sunlight  shining  through  a  window  and  thrown  -  aside  curtain  makes  calamity  squint,    and  she  holds  up  a  hand  so  she  can  see  him  better  from  where  she  lays  in  bed.          ❝       —   oh,   you're one of them early birdies,  huh ?      ❞            if  you  can  even  call  it  that.        she  doesn't  know  what  time  it  is,     only  that  he's  managed  to  get  up  before  her.          that's  enough  of  a  change  from  her  usual  bedfellows,    though.         most  of  the  time,    she  makes  a  point  to  get  up  and  slip  out  to  avoid   . . .    well,    pleasentries  like  this;         coffee and bagels and small talk.         looking  at  him  now,    she  can't  even  say  with  confidence  that  she  remembers  his  name.      [  he's  not  a  bad  catch  though.      not by  any  means.  ].         too  heavy  with  fatigue  to  protest,    she  squirms  a  bit  beneath  the  covers  and  looks  to  the  side.        if  anything,    she  can  use  this  as  an  advantage    /     take  a  few  moments  to  root  around  for  a  pricey  -  looking  souvenir.        ❝    sounds  good,    sweets.    . . .        but  no  need  to   spoil  me.       i'll  just  take  it  black.     ❞           

... wow this was so sudden . wow . robin you're mkaing my heart go 🥺🥺 .

* .  ♡         there’s a giggle that leaves her as she leans against @dtective​​‘s side (desperately trying to ignore the cold that was seeping into her skin), staring up at the bright, neon sign. “ this is what you do on your time off ? ” turning her gaze to archie, who was a good couple of feet taller than her. “ karaoke ? ”

* .  ♡                                                                       she feels her cheeks start to turn red. blue eyes still stare up at the single white dot on the ceiling of @dtective​‘a apartment. she had just managed to find her way home. the last shift hadn’t been entirely pleasant, but it wasn’t a complete disaster either. ellie had managed to even get a haircut while she was away. shifting her eyes, she finally focused on archie who stood over her, coffee mug in one hand. the australian’s bare back was pressed against the cool tiles - the heat wasn’t TOO bad but it was still an ununsually warm day. “ shut up. ” she said with a light scoff. “ i look awful. ”
