Maea
The worst of all blessings
By now she should have expected the calm reassurance emanating from this man, yet as always it took her aback that he wasn't even phazed by the change of their plans. Calmed by Liam's ease, the little woman relaxed beneath his hands, and shook her head about going out. "I wanted it to be just us," she murmured, abashed even though she was fairly sure it was okay to admit such things now. "Just need to check the pantry - I dont know how much is left."
Managing a brief smile at least, she stepped aside to allow Liam inside the house. With the smoke clearing up, it didn't look quite as bad as it had seemed a moment ago, and if she ignored the blackened pot in the sink, one could almost believe that this was what they had planned all along.
Padding over to the pantry, she pulled open cupboards and considered the contents. Root vegetables and onions she had enough of, spices too (even though she wasn't sure what to do with them) and though the venison was ruined, at least there was a hunk of smoked meat that could be used.
"Think we can make something with this?" Glancing over a shoulder, the sight of Liam filling up the space of her living room filled her with a nervous excitement; almost exactly the way she'd imagined. Except the real thing was always better.
