Sawyer sat on a bench in the park, watching as Gregory played in the sand.  Going to the park wasn’t his favorite of his fatherly duties but he knew it was important for his son to get out there and socialize with other kids.  At least, that’s what his own mother kept telling him.  He watched as the kid next to Gregory, started to put sand in his mouth and he rolled his eyes, moving to pick up his son to save him from this kind of socialization.  He hadn’t realized how much force he’d used to pick him up and they quickly turned into someone, bumping them. “Oh, sorry. Guess we didn’t see you there.”

Sawyer lays on the grass, closing her eyes. Things have been difficult, the cravings, the heightened feelings. She feels like she's drowning in the unknown and she doesn't even know who to ask. She hears footsteps, her eyes open. "Whose there?"

“Why am I not surprised? Anything for Instagram right?” He said shaking his head with a chuckle. “I mean it doesn’t look *terrible* but why didn’t you just wait and let me help you? I’m sure we could come up with something much more flattering if you weren’t trying to wrap yourself up all on your own.” Andrew teased. “Gotta make sure everything looks perfect. You know how much I appreciate a good aesthetic.”

Sawyer laughed softly before shooting Andrew a look. "Hey, we don't all have adorable boyfriends to post pictures of. Some of us have to try and look really cute to try and catch someone's attention." She pointed out before slowly starting to untangle the lights that were wrapped around her. "Because I was slightly embarrassed about asking you to help me. Which is silly. I know you would have helped. So, will you please help me look hot instead of like a hot mess?"

Sawyer looked up as Andrew came back from the kitchen carrying their hot chocolate. "I could tell you the made up answer that I was trying to detangle them and then suddenly I was tangled or I could admit the truth that I was trying to go for the aesthetic and was planning on asking you to take cute photos for my Instagram but based on the look on your face they obviously won't be very good photos."

Sawyer looked over at her friend, slipping her hand around his bicep. “Have I told you lately how much I love you and appreciate you?”  She nodded before leading him to the back of the room. “I know you probably have so many other things you could be doing so I really appreciate this and I know it was such last minute.” Of course the one weekend she was in charge of the events everyone had decided to cancel on her and she was left stranded. “You know, I always dreamed that you being such a famous author would benefit me some day, this isn’t exactly how I saw it going though.” She teased, leading him up to the front where the kids were waiting for him to start reading. “But you know, cute dad’s are probably a pretty good plus.”
