The sound of him saying her name like that let her know that she had hit a nerve but after explaining herself he seemed to be on board. In fact, he seemed to be smiling..err. Grinning but all the same. Could it really be? Sure, she had seen the tiny little smiles and smirks before but nothing like this. Not something that was really genuine and real. She would admit, it was a good look for him. He looked younger and happier of course. Like the man she was sure he was like before Trevor's evil had touche his life. "Why didn't I think of that?" Because you can't think of everything she told him scarcasticaly while lightly nudging him with her shoulder.
When Ian asked who this woman would be traveling with and started listing off the possiblites...she heard the pause. It might have been a slight one but it was still there. Oi..she was in trouble. I honestly don't know it was the truth, she didn't have enough resources or time before this little meeting to figure that out. I can almost guarantee she will have a body guard but anyone else, I don't know. When Ian continued and said that they would have to talk to Casey and Lucy she almost wanted to laugh at the tone he used when talking about them...almost. Merlin, this was going to be like trying to keep two teenaged boys from killing each other she could already tell.
She nodded when he said they would have to work fast and that he could gather most of the supplies tonight sounds like a plan Evie looked up at him...there it was again. That smile, that one thing he never did and then Ian did something else he had never done before...he was full of all kind of surprises today wasn't he? As he hugged her Evie stood there for a moment as if in shock. Was this really happening? Was she dreaming? No...she could feel his warmth and hear his heart beat. No, no this was real. As if on a delay Evie blinked a few times and finally wrapped her arms around back him. This was nice...weird but nice all the same and when he pulled back from her she felt a little bit of relief. Mostly for the fact that hugging him was just so...foreign. It would take getting used to but she wouldn't be opposed to trying it again and again and again until it felt right.....
Her eyes met his and she smiled back at him. She could get used to that sight. The longer they stood there like they were her smile slowly got smaller but it was still there and she didn't take her eyes off him. Here it was again..another 'moment' and she was curious if he was going to take this one or let it be like the last time. If she wanted to, she could be the one to do it. So why wasn't she? It wasn't like it would be that...ok, it would be disastrous but not in a unpleasurable way. More like this is a horrible idea and you have really bad timing sort of way. Even if Evie knew how this would end and what this situation could do then why did she feel herself moving forward and leaning up ever so slightly. Just one...a quick one..just to see what it was like.
Slowly, ever so slowly she moved herself closer and closer until she was just about there, her lips inches from his...Just about the time she was going to seal the deal and could feel the warmth the heavy metal door to the warehouse clicked open and Evie jumped, turning around quickly and taking a step away from Ian Evie ran her hand through her hair while letting out a very deep and shuddered breath. Bugger...bugger bugger bugger...there were a few more colorful American words that would suit this situation better but..yeah. Why did he have to come back now?
