Episode 466: Popsicle"Back where we started," Sebastian echoed, a smile bursting out at the memory. Ava’s relieved smile beamed right back at him as she snuggled into his side, leaning with him on the grocery cart in the middle of the empty aisle. "That would be me, drooling at first sight. You were, and remain the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I was a goner the minute I walked into that store for a soda. What did you think of me at first sight?"She laughed. "I’m pretty sure you recall that I thought you were an obnoxious, way too entitled, albeit obscenely handsome rich boy and I wanted nothing to do with you." "You were cruel," he chuckled, though at the time it had hardly been funny, her refusals had frustrated the hell out of him. "You didn’t let on about the obscenely handsome bit for a very long time. I kept wondering if you were immune to my charms." "You definitely didn’t play it that way. You persistently sold the idea like you were god’s gift to me or something." She playfully stabbed at his shoulder. "You were impossible." "You weren’t any picnic yourself," Sebastian reminded her. "You looked at me like I might be an axe murderer when I offered you a ride. You nearly opted to let those popsicles melt when they were the only thing your mom could eat." Damn. "I’m sorry. We were doing well for five minutes and I bring up-" "It’s okay. You know those popsicles weren’t the only thing melting that day. It was then, and again on that New Year’s when you drove me home to my mom, you stayed with me, for once you weren’t playing games. That was when you started to finally feel at least a little bit… real." "And kissable," he grinned. "Very kissable," she agreed and proceeded to demonstrate right there in the aisle. Their first kiss in a long time that hadn’t felt fraught with what they’d endured in the past. More like renewed by it.
