[gildedshot]

Okay. Thanks.

[dolleman]

Wait, why?

[gildedshot]

Because I wanted to know what you thought about it.

I'm not going to ask you to marry me over a text message.

[dolleman]

I suppose that would be awkward.

[Ha ha.]

[gildedshot]

Wait...asking over text or me asking you at all?

[dolleman]

Over text.

[gildedshot]

Oh yes.

Indeed.

[dolleman]

Are you okay?

[gildedshot]

Yes.

Where are you?

[dolleman]

The antique store.

[gildedshot]

[Lisa is walking into the store about fifteen minutes later, Freckles on his leash walking beside her.]

[dolleman]

[And Jefferson is finishing cleaning out a cabinet of antiques for sale. He smiles at her when he sees her come in.]

[gildedshot]

[She walks around the counter and presses a kiss to his lips.]

Hey. Sorry if that question seemed random.

[dolleman]

Not at all. How are you two doing?

[gildedshot]

Just fine. Me and little man here have been socializing him. He loves people.

[dolleman]

Meet anyone interesting?

[gildedshot]

Just saw some old friends. Took him to the Casino to meet his uncle. That sort of thing.

Len spoke to Steve today.

[dolleman]

He did? How did that go?

[gildedshot]

It seemed to go okay. He invited Steve to join him and Helen at the Saloon for lunch tomorrow.

[dolleman]

That does sound good.

[gildedshot]

Yeah.

Maybe they can find their way back to each other.

I just want him to be happy. Like I am.

[dolleman]

Glad to hear that you're happy. I'm sure they'll get there.

[gildedshot]

You make me very happy. [She leans over and kisses him again] Happy enough to think about things I never once considered before.

[dolleman]

Is that right?

[gildedshot]

Yes, Jefferson. You do.
