Don't compare me to a housekeeper, James. That's asking to have hot coffee poured in your lap. [It's a joke, but there's an edge to her tone. She's doing it because she cares about him, not because she's paid to.] Anyway, you've some time. Try to relax a bit before you leave.
[She busies herself creating a plate for him, leaning in to press a kiss to the side of his mouth like it ain't no thang once before finishing up and putting it to the table in the sun room; she leaves and returns with a mug of coffee and a bowl of fruit for herself.]
If it helps, I couldn't cope without her. [But he's shushing himself and heading for a seat, sipping his coffee and sprawling out in his seat, doing just as he's told and relaxing before yet another hectic day at work. God, he can't wait to kill this newbie that's causing him all this hassle.]
Maybe just a little. [She's glad he stopped talking, since knowing them this playful teasing would end up an argument. It's nice that it hasn't, though. Very domestic.] When do you get lunch? I can swing by or we can meet somewhere? [She stabs a strawberry. It's only a coincidental gesture, not a sign of things to come. Hopefully.]
I know. [But he's not sure he can return the sentiment, untrusting as he is in his own reliability. He'll probably just screw everything up again right? That's what he does with relationships.]
Any chance of a lift to my car in a few minutes? Might be quite a walk for me otherwise. Don't much fancy piggy-backing Mitch all the way to City Hall.

Whenever I want to take it, really. Don't think there's anything too pressing that I have to worry about this afternoon.

As much as I'd enjoy watching that, of course. I'll just teleport you there instead of joining you, if you don't mind.
