Steve reaches out and shakes the realtor’s hand, trying to ignore the way her eyes flick to his hand, checking for a ring, and the way her smile brightens when she doesn’t find one.
“I’m Amy, I’ll be helping you today, Steve.” She drops his hand and turns, gesturing to the house in front of them. “So, here it is. You looking at this big ol’ house just for yourself, sugar?” She bats her lashes at him.
Steve smiles and shakes his head. “Oh, no my uh–”
Robin’s car comes to a screeching stop at the curb and she hurries over to them, her baggy sweater slipping off her shoulder, and her hair falling in messy tendrils out of her bun. “Sorry! Sorry! I forgot to set my alarm. I’m here.”
Steve smiles and gestures to Robin. “Here she is! Robin, Amy, Amy, Robin.”
Amy’s face falls for a second before she catches herself, eyes flicking between Robin and Steve, and her pleasant customer service smile is plastered back on her face. “So nice to meet you, dear.” She leads them up to the path and opens the front door, stepping aside to let them in.
Steve doesn’t even look around the room. Just looks right to Robin so he can see her gut reaction to the place. Her face lights up, a shimmer in her eye, before she wipes it clean and turns to him, obviously trying not to get her hopes up.
“What do you think? This is the one that was a little out of our price range, right?”
Steve shrugs, finally glancing around the spacious living room. There’s a bay window on the side with a window seat he’s pretty sure is what caught Robin’s eye. “It can’t hurt to look though, and I have my trust fund…”
Robin shakes her head. “We said we were going to split this evenly, Steve.”
Steve rolls his eyes and tugs her further into the house. “I don’t mind , though. I just want to find a house we love.”
Robin opens her mouth to argue, again, as she pulls open a closet in the hallway, when Amy clears her throat behind them. They both glance over at her, and Steve tries not to laugh at the way Robin’s clearly trying not to glare.
“If I may, sweetie–” She reaches out to give Robin’s arm a squeeze. “If you two are moving in together you might as well start thinking of it as joint accounts. I mean, I don’t want to assume. But buying a house together is pretty serious. Are y'all planning a wedding soon? This house would be great for starting a family.”
Robin’s face drops and Steve has to stifle another laugh. He leans in close to Robin, pulling her in close and pressing a kiss to her cheek. “That backyard would be great for a dog, babe.”
Robin sighs and shakes her head, pushing him off her with a roll of her eyes. “Let’s look at the freaking backyard, then.”
