Amanda came in with her arms loaded with bags. She'd gotten groceries, which was rare enough that she was nearly giddy. Doug had given her money to shop, and she'd even had enough left over to get her hair cut. Yes, it was kind of silly, but she liked it and she was sure John would too.

She laid everything out on the kitchen area's shelves, emptying the two bags of cold things that needed to be put away immediately. Then she headed to find John, calling out for him softly.

He could do this, he'd done it before of course but this was so very different...not in the words, but the person he was asking. She was so very different to Jill. "I'm in here, Amanda."

"You look wonderful, Amanda. It suits you. I'd say I should do mine, but there isn't an awful not left anymore." He laughed at that, wrinkling his nose and running his fingers through it quickly.
