#evxnbarton

At the sound of the familiar voice, she placed her red pen down and turned around on her chair and looked to see the youngest Barton in her office. “Besides the constant absurd questions about running over people and asking if I could be their lawyer if they commit a crime, I’d say they’ve been mostly normal.” she listed off the top of her head, she had barely been here for that long, and the twins had managed to cause so much mischief around her. “I’ve been well, you know busy travelling in between countries, it’s been a while since I’ve you Evan.” she noted as she stood up from her seat and made her way to him. 

she smiles, as she always does whenever either of her brothers are in the vicinity, at evan when he approaches and there was a welcome ready on her lips. until she’s left speechless when he leans down to kiss her. any kind of affectionate interaction was better left at home where no one can see so this surprised her entirely. her grin falters into a smaller, shyer smile as she wraps her arms around him. “thank you, evan. you know i always do. every girl should savor a kiss from you, okay?”

she’s in the garden with her chin tucked between her knees, arms wrapped around her legs. her head is deep into her own thoughts when she’s suddenly pulled back down by a stranger’s rambling. the words hit too close to home and a breath is released, not even knowing that it was held back. it’s a small reality check for the female, a badly needed one nevertheless. slowly, she gets up to head towards her dorm room for a nap. the stranger is sitting down on a bench with a book in his hand ( seems like a bible? ) and penelope assumes that he's deeply invested. so, she passes by him with a short whisper, not wanting to bother him. “thank you.”

once she feels completely satisfied in embarrassing him, she releases him from her grasp, reaching onto her tiptoes to mess up his hair. "both? i knew it" her blatantly ignorance to what he actually said was, again, another normal thing for her, especially when it came to evan. "thank you! i really wasn't expecting to get the position. at least now they can't ignore my requests. how are you though? you look well"
