Summary
They rolled away from each other while asleep, and Nile wakes up with a shiver. Whatever gentlemanly spirit possesses Booker during daytime definitely flees when it’s time to lay down, given that he’s swaddled not only in his blanket but also in hers. The thief.

Summary
Half an hour past the agreed two hours should make it safe to come back, he thought while rooting through his pockets in search of his keycard. Maybe the room would still smell faintly of sex, but by now Nile would have opened the windows to air it out. She’d never been anything but a considerate roommate. The muffled music drifting through the walls didn’t tick him off to anything strange, since he also knew Nile enjoyed showering with something to jam to. He knew an awful lot about her small habits…
The hotel was good enough that the doors didn’t make a peep when opened.

Summary
“I bet you were one of those kids with hair like corn silk," Nile said, softly, teasing. At his confusion, she added, "Hair so blonde it's almost white? The kind that darkens when the person gets older."
"I—" Booker reached for a memory, sure it would be an easy answer. It wasn’t until the moment stretched, his single word hanging in front of Nile’s growing confusion, that he realized… he couldn’t remember. “I don’t… know?” he finally said, frowning.
Hair and memories and childhood stories.

Summary
"Getting tired against nightmares?"
"As good a strategy as any," she answers, cracking her neck before standing up. Her new jeans are stretchy, comfortable, and exactly her size. She wonders who bought them, and the jewel green jacket.
Booker stretches as she wanders around a little, waiting for the dream to fade. Suddenly he chuckles to himself, scratching the side of his nose.
"What's so funny?"
"It's, hm," he looks up, still smiling, and… stops. Clears his throat. Weird, she thinks. "It's a little inappropriate."
alternatively "something that could've happened in the cave."
EDIT: also alternatively "booker and nile fall into bed together in moments of stress."

Summary
“I’m honored to be an audience to the beginnings of a beautiful relationship,” Joe said. Booker bit back a sigh. Didn’t they care that this Moose guy was mortal, at all?
Like that’s what’s bothering you so much, you asshole, he thought to himself. Nevertheless.

Summary
≻- Homesteader with Two Sons Seeks Wife -≺
I'm a widower with two young sons, ages 8 and 6. I'm seeking a well-educated woman fluent in French as well as English, as I hope for my children to retain their mother tongue. My sons are smart, well-behaved, happy children, and while we manage well enough as a family of three, I would like for them to have a mother's love once again.
The farm house is modest but comfortable and the acreage abuts a beautiful forest and a creek. I grow barley and raise sheep for wool, and our farm is also home to a horse, chickens, and a cat. The days here are pleasant and quiet. A short walk away is Chesterfield with the usual amenities and friendly neighbors.
Please write to me if this proposal is of interest to you.
