Her phone had been blowing up all morning. A constant barrage of messages from her sister's in their group chat. Question after question after question.

NOAH He slowed and downshifted as they turned the corner, her directions clear as the sprawling country road brought them closer and closer to her parents house. ”Don't worry. I’ve stopped stuffing my napkin in my collar and I’ve even cleaned under my fingernails.” Noah flashed her a bright, quirky smile in an attempt to calm her nerves.
To say he didn’t have his own set of anxieties would be a lie. For a long time, Noah had been alone. No mother, no father. Brother off to college on the other side of the country. Aunts and uncles too busy and too far away with blurred faces and nearly forgotten names. For him to step into Cordelia’s home, sit at the table and share a meal, and (probably) listen to stories of her from her childhood — it would be so foreign to him. But he pushed through all of it. Between geared he placed his hand on her knee, thumb rubbing gently and comfortingly across her leg. ”Is this it?” Noah asked, leaning forward slightly and preparing to downshift again. I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm Don't worry I'll keep you warm the One-Shot

NOAH Noah didn’t shift back in his seat when she affirmed their approach. Rather, he leaned even closer to the windshield over the steering wheel to take it all in. He couldn’t help but smile at the horses in the drive-side pastures. Barns and silos and tractors studded the property and as they moved closer and closer to the house, he turned his eyes to the White House and it’s sprawling porch. The audible awe couldn’t be stopped from dropping out of half-parted lips.
He parked, and she joked — well, half joked — and Noah lifted his arms over his head in response. Dramatically he stretched and yawned, ”Nope, sorry. Too tired to drive.” and though he trusted this woman, was growing love for this woman, he held his truck close to the cuff and hadn’t yet handed her his keys. Maybe he just liked the way she looked on the passenger side of the bench. He would never forget their first night in his truck, the rain having drenched her completely. At that time, the blowers for his heat didn’t work. Walking around the car to her, Noah paused before her and brushed a lock of auburn hair aside. ”Itll be fine.” he reassured her, pushing down the butterflies that threatened his own stability.

NOAH Noah hadn't really expected the girls to be so enthusiastic as they burst from the house and towards them. Though he had been warned, he didn't have much experience around teenage girls and therefor, was a little shell shocked in the moment. He couldn't do anything else but smile and follow as he was tugged and prodded and fawned over. It was an awkward smile, though he was sure Cordelia would be the only one to notice that. He chuckled some as the sisters squawked and finally settled as Cordelia took his arm again.
He watched wordlessly as the sisters exchanged a look while talking of their father, and it made the butterflies in Noah's stomach react. As if they were disturbed from their flowery haven and all took to the sky at once, Noah felt them rise up towards his throat. Stepping in to the house Noah paused with Cordelia, swallowing the butterflies back down to their valley of rest before asking, "Shoes?" He looked down and lifted one of his feet, tilting his ankle to show the worn and well-loved boots, the leather supple and clean, but the soles less so. The scents and sounds of the house hit him all at once. Turning his attention from Cordelia, though briefly, Noah let it sink in. The warmth and carefully curated light were more effective at reducing the action of the butterflies than his own efforts, and he felt the muscles between his shoulder blades relax.
