Talks (Danny, Val)

[daniel_marlow]

When Danny walked through the door on Thursday afternoon, he was carrying a large chocolate muffin in his hands. "Mum!" he called out to her, hoping she was actually home. He really wanted to talk to her, and the muffin was apparently to soften her up. He didn't really know why it was necessary, but he had gotten it anyway. He planned to hide behind it a little bit.

"Mum, can you meet me in the dining room?" he called out and then he went to grab a glass of water before taking a seat.

Val tried not to smile too wide, or at least have the decency to try and hide that smile in her hair as she ducked her head for a moment. Calm and warm. Her sweet little Danny. Val had vague memories of people making her feel that way, but it had been a long while.

"That's a good way to feel," Val assured him. "And Rachel seems like a sweet girl. A sweet girl who is never ever to come crawling through your window again-" these words were said very seriously and with a pointed look "-but a sweet girl none the less."
