@dawson-x-young
The path to Dawson’s cottage was well familiarised to the youngest Dunsmore sibling. How that fact came to be she really doesn’t remember. Sometime about her persistence and desire to escape her reality, and the fact he was a big dumb giant who was easily persuaded by food. Okay, he wasn’t dumb but she couldn’t let him know she thought highly of him. It would go to his head. That big beautiful head of his.
Dawson Young was a fantasy. Someone who Dylan could never be. Rich. Successful. Handsome. Charming. Disgustingly perfect in the best of ways. He had a beautiful home that he owned, grew vegetables that he gave Dylan freely, and animals that felt safe under his nurturing touch. Dylan on the other hand was untamed, loud, lived budgeting every penny and felt lost in this part of town.
They were incompatible in so many ways, and yet his presence comforted her. It drove her nuts sometimes. Why would he spare her the time of day? What does he get out of this friendship, this companionship, other than a stray plate of food now and then? No one was this nice. It wasn’t normal. One day it would turn on her, this little piece of fantasy she’d carved out with him. One day it would leave her heartbroken. Alone. But not today.
As she enters his property from the street she out of habit looks around, scanning the space to find him. How does someone own so much land? She didn’t even own the bedroom she slept it. When she didn’t find him in his vegetable garden she looked to the animals, finding his figure towering over the chickens that fed from him joyfully. Is that what she looked like when he gave her treats?
“When they have babies next I’m naming one Nugget,” is how she greets him as she makes her way over. “You would have custody of him though. Colton might have a problem with a chicken running around the place.” Not that her roommate was home very often.
