Time with Gus

Demeter opens the door out into her garden where the moon's out and its starting to get hot and humid.

Everywhere something is blooming and the scents fill the air as Demeter smiles and leads Gus to a table set out in a little grove of trees.

The day passes by quickly and soon the sun's overhead and beating down on them as Demeter grins at the improved patch,

"A good morning's work. Come inside to clean up and I'll find you a door."

He's not tired, or aching like he thought he'd be - really, he feels centered and refreshed. Exactly the best sort of mood to be in when he heads into the party after the case that led up to it.

"I appreciate it," he smiles; finding a place to wash up easily enough. "Are you coming to Juliet's birthday party?"

"No, I've got more to do here, go and have a good time and send my good wishes. As well as all that we've harvested today."

"I'll do that," he smiles broadly, leaning in to press a gentle kiss against her cheek.

"Thank you, again, I mean... I can't talk to anybody the way I talk to you."

And the way he doesn't talk, the way she just knows what he means.

"I'm always glad to listen, Gus,"

She kisses his cheek and presses a small basket into his hands before opening the front door to Milliways.

Almost reluctant to go, with one last small hesitant wave, he steps through and then back through the door leading out the lockers in the Psych office.
