Turtle & Canary; Monday [03/13].

[somethingwithturquoise]

Summer sort of figured the monotony of her usual Monday morning tasks around the shop would be pretty slow going, distracted and with a mind wandering toward the surprising turn of events (was it, though, Summer? Was it really that surprising?) this weekend, but she actually ended up being just as distracted by her phone. At least she was almost glued to it and grinning at what had sparked when she shot off a reply (what would u do if i did?) to a message (not going to cancel on me again tonight, are u?) from that guy from Tinder she was supposed to meet up with tonight that she'd been sort of jerking around a little with scheduling.

Yeah, definitely not canceling. He was making some very convincing arguments. Mostly in the form of physical evidence, and there was a good chance Summer was going to just have to come in later tomorrow (much later) to finish up what wasn't getting done today.

But at least all of their staplers were being dutifully filled today, even if Apu was very upset that SUmmer didn't even notice.

The weekend had been really nice, spending it with Connor but as it had been brought to his attention, he really needed to go grocery shopping and he really needed to fix that especially if Connor was going to be spending more time at his place.

So while he waited til he could call the university later that afternoon, he decided to at least try and be a bit productive that morning,

“Morning,” he said when he spotted Summer, which was him being …well not chatty exactly but it was a start for him.

"Hmmm?" Summer, aware that someone had come into the store, obviously, but in the middle of a text, responded to that greeting at first with a small hum of acknowledgement and a lift of her chin, though her eyes didn't follow quite yet. She finished sending the text, waited a moment as if half-expecting an immediate response back, but, since there wasn't, she finally shifted her attention away entirely.

"Oh, hey, Cutter, how's it going?"

“It’s going rather well actually,” Cutter said with small smile at that, “it’s been pointed out that my fridge and pe try need to be restocked so thought I should get to work on that. How about you?”

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Definitely a good place to restock," said Summer, well aware that it was, mostly, the only place to restock. "And I'm doing....pretty good, myself, too."

And it felt even better to actually say that and mean it and not just feel like she was just saying it because it was expected.

Cutter nodded at that, looking a little sheepish, “it’s definitely been a while since I’ve done any grocery shopping, Connor …er tried to make me breakfast in bed, he didn’t have a lot of options to work with,” he went rather red at that, it was still something that he wasn’t used to.

Summer bit her lip a little, which did nothing to really keep down the smirk on her face as she couldn't help thinking back to her and Stark's own version of breakfast in bed that hadn't even required any food at all.

"That's really sweet of him," she then noted, once she'd finished appreciating that nice little blip of memory for a moment. "Definitely seems like the kind of thing he'd do, too."

Which was, you know, big upgrade from wives that cheat and then shoot you, Cutter! But she figured (hoped, really) he didn't need her telling him that.

"But, yeah, good thinking," she threw him a wink, "being better prepared for next time."

It was definitely an improvement on the last couple of relationships, even though that was a really really low bar to pass.

Cutter smiled at that, still a little red, “it was a nice thought, took a while to clean the kitchen though,”

They’d gotten a little distracted.
