When hope and peace begin to fray
Despite the initial, instinctive terror of it all, it’s undoubtedly an exercise in mastery and one that Evie is quite honored to witness so close at hand. The fire lights up her pale skin, flickering color like a painter’s brush over an ivory canvas. Her hands stay steady, to aid in the efforts and to preserve her own safety at the same time. It seems over far too soon, having been mesmerized quite easily the moment he started, not unlike a moth to a literal flame.
Handing the scale back over, she eagerly plucks the brownie from his offered hand before he can retract it. Not putting it past him to do so. The explanation is nearly missed as the Evergreen is busy melting into the side of the springs as she savors the thick, velvety richness of the brownie square in her mouth. Eyes fluttering open she refocuses reluctantly, chasing a lingering bit of chocolate on the corner of her mouth with her tongue. “That’s a great idea. What more do you have to do to it?” And though she has yet to finish her current provided square, already she is eyeing the bag in his hands, covetous and impish. “Thank you. They’re definitely worth it.” She winks and takes another bite, savoring it anew.
