Nice warm fuzzy feelings again from Amelia and Autumn relaxed. "Yum, sounds delicious! We'll be out here if y'all need anything," she echoed Ben.
She turned back to Ben with a laugh. "No worries! It is overwhelming sometimes to be the hostess. You gotta keep tabs on the cooking, entertain guests, make sure everyone is happy...it's a tough job!"
Autumn looked around and cleared her throat. "So, it looks like it's just the two of us," she commented. She looked around the backyard and noticed the trees and plants and flowers. She looked up to the sky and inhaled deeply. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it?" Yes, she was talking about the weather, but for her it wasn't small talk. The weather was important and part of Mother Earth. It was something to be celebrated and taken seriously.
