The problem with Frank Sinatra is that he doesn't have many songs you can whistle the next day.

(Doesn't mean Eros isn't trying, though.)

There's sunlight shining in through the broad wall of windows that makes up one side of the cabin, more than enough to light up the open-concept kitchen. Every now and then Eros glances up and grins at the sight visible through them: a deck that leads to a sloping lawn, and just a short distance beyond that a long dock reaching out into a mirror-calm lake. Every now and then there's the sound of a loon, or the sight of a bird of prey above the pine trees.

Eros wiggles his bare feet against the ceramic tiles as he cooks. Hopefully Goldy likes bacon.

He wrinkles his nose right back at her.

"Right. I'll make you a key later, if you want one. Should make the bar let you out here when you want to."

Beat.

"It also opens the front door of this place. Kind of like a regular key."

She considers this and then nods.

"Okay. That would be nice. Thank you. Again."

She moves the tray to the bedside table on her side and then adjusts herself to lay alongside Eros.

"This all seems sort of conclusive in terms of the current liaison." She absently twirls a lock of his hair around her index finger. "Are you about to kick me out?"

Eros glances at his watch, and sucks air through his teeth. "Yeah, sorry. My eleven o'clock's gonna be here soon, and I need to change the sheets."

His face says: :D?

Goldy snorts and shoves his arm.

"Ass!"

"Yeah, but you love it."

He glances back, over his shoulder.

"I don't blame you. It's a nice ass."

Goldy lifts her head off the mattress and glances discerningly at the body part in question.

"Heh. True enough, on both counts. But given that you can make it look however you want, I'd expect nothing less."

"Well I try not too appear too unattainable. You on the other hand..."

He pokes her gently in the shoulder.

"You don't even have godly powers. You just got lucky, looking so good. I'm jealous."

Goldy snorts again.

"Bah. Whatever."

She follows that with a short kiss to his heavily-stubbled cheek. It's at least semi-grateful in nature.

"Thank you. But you already have me. There's no need for flattery now."

Beat.

"And, to be fair, there was no need beforehand either. But that's beside the point." She shrugs and chuckles. "Enh... what am I saying? Flatter away. I love it all."

"What would the world be like if people only did things because they needed to? It'd be boring, for one."

He considers, then adds, "And I'd be out of a job."

"An absolutely tragic scenario," she agrees, hooking her upper leg over his.

"I feel it's our duty to work together to avoid it. Perhaps... by continuing to do things here that we don't actually need to."

"Mm. Good idea."

And Eros props himself up by his shoulders, and gently leans over...



...and steals the last piece of bacon.
