Sleep, and I Shall Soothe You

phoebe Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and annoint you Phoebe looked up from where she was wiping down her counter hearing the knock, smiling as Emmett stepped in before she could call out to the person at the door. ”Oh! Well hello there stranger!” she teased with a light laugh, setting her rag aside. Really it hadn’t been that long but…well she missed him when he wasn’t around even for a short time. But she was trying very hard to not let her need for closeness to get in their way anymore. Emmett needed his space sometimes and she needed to respect that. But she had hardly a second to turn back to him before he was suddenly right there, arms wrapping around her waist and snugging her close to him. ”Careful, you’ll get flour all over you!” she said with a light laugh, even as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, happy to sway with him, humming the tune she had been singing. ”Thank you. I’m not certain I would call it nice but at least I can sing on a key.” she said with a light laugh. Gently she tried to pat the flour off of his clothes. ”I don’t think I’ve ever seen you cross a room so fast to get to me. Miss me that much, huh?” she teased with a grin.
