JR whistled to himself as he walked up the steps onto the front porch, Misha enthusiastically bounding along at his side. It had been a good day helping with AJ's farm getting the fields ready for spring planting, he felt like he'd actually contributed something to the community for a change rather than just live off the supermarkets.
He sat down at the top of the steps, pulling his muddy boots off for cleaning rather than track mud into the house. It had taken too much blood, sweat, and tears fixing the place up for him to be comfortable tracking mud into it deliberately, hence the stopping before he actually went in.
Leaving the boots where he'd pulled them off (they weren't going anywhere) he walked into the house itself.
"Elyssa? You home, babe?" She hadn't mentioned going out, but it wasn't as if he had to know her every movement.
