All doors were locked just the way she liked it, a quick scan of the area made.
Although he promised to stay safe, the itch of battle grew stronger each day.
"Reese I know I don't have to. But I want to."
Gathered the plate and fork already heading to the sink.
"I 𝒂𝒏𝒙𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒍𝒚 await his answer.♡"

"Go relax."
This is why he cared so much. Seeing that innocent face made him relax.
"I'll take care of my mess and make sure I lock up before I leave."

Quiet chuckle turned into joyous laughter, gold twinkling with glee.
"You caught me red handed. I stay and deal with a lot more than I normally would because I care. A lot. Maybe an unhealthy amount.
Sometimes I fear I'm stunting your independence.♧"–
"Then he'll deal with me. You have other things to take care of. Watching some crystal isn't your job.♧"
Or maybe it was more like he didn't enjoy Gold bringing his issues to her.
Still as protective as always...
