Ernie and Melinda
Ernie paused for a moment to consider what Melinda was thinking, trying to recall any information over the past week that might end up applying to this situation. He further paused and watched her take a long drink from her beer as he cocked his head slightly to the side and raised an eyebrow. Okay. Yeah all of this was added up to something more than normal. Not a ton of warning flags were going up, but just enough to make him not want to brush off either. He sunk down a little further in his chair and crossed his arm over his chest. "Yeah?" he asked in a please explain more kind of way if she wanted to go on.
He rolled her eyes at Mel's expression not buying it for one minute. "Yeah, 'm sure. Maybe for Christmas." he said dryly, though he also sort of sounded amused with a slight grin on his face.
