She raises her eyebrows. "What's in the box, Phil?" she asks.

[dr_boyce]

He raises the lid of the clam shell container so she can peek in.

[isstillincharge]

She opens the lid and peeks in. "Oh! Strawberries!" she happily says before giving him a big hug.

[dr_boyce]

He hugs her back and smiles. "Out of the garden. Not of course the first crop but just as sweet, I assure you."

[isstillincharge]

She pulls back and gives him a teasing smile. "Do I need to be jealous of whoever got the first batch?" she asks.

[dr_boyce]

"After the deer came through, there was exactly one left," he reports. "Which I happily consumed. After rather loudly and exuberantly telling them were they could go."

[isstillincharge]

She laughs. "And how am I to get mad at an adorable little deer?" she asks before she takes one of the strawberries and eats it. "Mmm, these are good, Phil."

[dr_boyce]

After they most of his strawberries, he didn't think they were quite so adorable. To put it politely.

"I picked them this morning. Have as many as you'd like. There should be more in another day or so."

Christa nods her head and takes another strawberry. "If you aren't busy tonight, you can come over and have strawberry shortcake with me," she tells him with a grin.

[dr_boyce]

"That sounds lovely. What time would you like me?"

[isstillincharge]

She finishes off her strawberry before answering. "Six o'clock works," she tells him for a smile.

[dr_boyce]

"Six o'clock it is then. I'll bring a bottle of wine to go with our shortcake."

[isstillincharge]

"Sounds wonderful. I'll see you then, Phil."
