Cheesecake or eclairs? Or that delightful looking french fancy? Could he maybe steal a danish for later on or would the kitchen staff hate him? Penny would hate him for eating and getting crumbs near the novels in the back of the aisles. So maybe it'd be best to take something that wasn't messy or needed a bowl. Or maybe it would be better to just do something quick and easy but then he wanted to savour it.

Of course after two minutes of deliberating he was well aware that he was creating a delay and he had to shuffle up, apologising in his soft English voice and generally making a fuss of preventing people from choosing their puddings. After a moment's deliberation he grabbed one of each dish and stole them away to a nearby table. After paying of course.

Once settled he started on the creamiest of the lot and promptly got it all over his mouth. At least Blake had retained the etiquette.

Who: Garret and Shelley

When: Friday afternoon
Rating: NSFW

Garret had been in a bit of a fog lately. It wasn't that having his family all together again was a bad thing, quite the opposite actually. It was that Garret had been allowing himself to think too much. When he thought too much, he came to conclusions and realized new things about himself and most of the time they were not good things. He tried very hard to keep other people from seeing beneath his sparkle because he feared that, if they caught a glimpse of what was beneath, they wouldn't like it. And he based this on the fact that, when he saw what was beneath the surface, he didn't like it. But talking with Rorie had given him another glimpse beneath the veneer he tried to uphold, and it had brought him to the conclusion that he was a poisonous, horrible person to have in a relationship. He was selfish, fickle, unsupportive and he had a temper like an Irishman (an accusation from an Irishman). He had also come to the conclusion that he wasn't in college anymore. He was forty, he was married, and this was the long haul. So Garret needed to fix himself and make himself less terrible for his family. But how did you fix how you felt about things? How did you set about changing your emotional reaction?
