˚₊‧꒰ა 🎄🎅🏼 ❄️ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> IT WAS ALMOST .. noon and ellie still hadn't changed out of her pajamas ( or even really gotten out of bed ). there was just something so exhausting about setting up christmas decorations. her little bakery looked amazing - but ellie needed at least three to five business days to recover from practically twelve hours of festive celebration. it wasn't even december yet. so when gavin showed up at her apartment door - concerned , but not really , that she hadn't made her weekly rounds to the precinct that day - she told him. ❝ i am declaring today a pajama and do absolutely nothing day. yesterday was exhausting. ❞ moving away from her front door - she left it open so that he could follow her inside.

｡･:*:･ﾟ🐬 HAND SLAPS AWAY THE OTHER ... although she does it rather gently. blue eyes are focused on placing the last cupcake onto the table in front of her - she doesn't need a detective to ruin her hard work. every year the detroit police department put on a little something to celebrate their officers - ellie offered to make the food this year , of course. ❝ don't touch. ❞ gavin was lingering around , he always did when it was ellie's turn to bake. ❝ there'll be none left for anyone else. ❞

˚₊‧꒰ა 🐬 💿 🌊 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> HER HEAD POUNDED .. and her body felt like it had been hit by a truck. she couldn't remember exactly what had happened. but ellie did know that sitting on the curb of the street wasn't exactly normal. the red and blue flashing lights filled her vision. so she blinked. once. then twice. before they focused on the android crouched before her. shaking her head slightly .. ellie narrowed her eyes. ❝ nines ? ❞ his name was a question. before she finally noticed that he had lifted his hand. ❝ uh - three .. ? ❞ it sounded more like a question than an answer.

˚₊‧꒰ა 🐬 💿 🌊 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> HIS VOICE IS RIGHT BESIDE HER .. ear. she almost jumps out of her skin. the music had muffled his appearance. she didn't even hear the front door open. head tilts to look over her shoulder and ellie can't help the soft smile that crosses her lips. the pot on the stove smelt like garlic and butter and onion. ❝ the best mashed potatoes you have ever tasted. ❞ she loved cooking for people. for gavin most of all.

˚₊‧꒰ა 🎄🎅🏼 ❄️ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> ❝ I CRY A LOT .. ❞ the words flowed from her mouth easily. she probably shouldn't have had that third glass of wine. blue eyes lazily look up at nines - as her head laid down on the sticky bar top. her eyes shut for half a second .. before they opened again. ❝ but i am so productive. ❞ she continued. the brunette actually didn't know why the android came looking for her. ❝ it's an art really. ❞

˚₊‧꒰ა 🎄🎅🏼 ❄️ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> BROWS RAISE HIGH .. into her hairline very quickly. her mouth is left open ever so slightly as she looks at the android. it's about three seconds later that her brows fall over her eyes. the coffee pot was held in her left hand - while the other held the plate full of food , meant for a booth table. ❝ i am not. ❞ she scoffed moving out from behind the counter - over to the table. placing the food down in front of the customer and then refilling the mans coffee. it was quiet for a couple of minutes before ellie returns behind the counter and stands in front of nines. ❝ i am not obsessive. ❞ she repeated. ❝ besides - i don't obsess. i think. intensely. ❞

˚₊‧꒰ა 🎃 👻 💀 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ -> ❝ STATISTICALLY SPEAKING .. you're more likely to be killed by a member of your own family or a close friend , than by anyone else. ❞ she swings back and forth on his desk chair.

˚₊‧꒰ა 🐬 🫧 🐟 ໒꒱ ‧₊˚ ⸻ ❝ ONE SINGLE THREAD .. ❞ she knew that he would tease her relentlessly - but she wouldn't care until the morning. for right now , elenore was drunk. ellie always became a little whimsical when she was drunk. ❝ of gold - tied me to you. ❞ head fell back against gavin's shoulder. blue eyes closing.
