"You haven't lost him if you know... he's just..." Danny finally turned around and his hands cupped her knee.

"Tomorrow. If you'd like it..." Jimmy's lips travelled down her neck and chest.

[|ĸιrα|]

Esther finally lifted her eyes up to look at him, and she nodded. "Yeah," she agreed softly.

"I told you, I'm getting a proper wedding," Riley frowned at him.

[LittleK]

"Come on its late, we should get inside. You need to get some rest. I'll be okay with him." Danny replied as patted her knee.

"We can start planning for it tomorrow, I want to... I really want to be with you." Jimmy lay beside her again and kissed her cheek.

[|ĸιrα|]

Esther just nodded and opened the door to get out.

"You are with me," Riley said softly, gazing at him fondly.

[LittleK]

Danny quickly took the wheelchair that was placed in the back and covered his knees. He inhaled deeply, he felt uncomfortable to see his brother this way and quickly started to wheel him inside.
Caleb stirred groaning, of the bumpy ride. He narrowed his eyes to see the house and then closed his eyes. "I shouldn't be back here..." he muttered.

(Have you ever seen Me Before You?)

Jimmy nodded as he laced their fingers together. "There's nothing troubling you then? You're not getting cold feet or whatever?"

[|ĸιrα|]

(Yes yes I have)

Esther waited at the base of the stairs. "We can stay down here," she told Danny, holding her arms crossed.

Riley kissed his knuckles and shook her head. "No, I'm more than happy to be marrying you, but there's no need to rush it, love."

[LittleK]

(I wonder if dear Caleb can get that kind of moody without turning into a Danny )
Danny stopped wheeling Caleb for a moment and looked at her. "You know you can't lift him..." Yet he saw her, he saw her expression and nodded letting go of the handles. "Alright just tell me when you're ready..." with hat he hurried up the stairs.

"I guess you're right, but weren't you the one that really wanted to have a family?" Jimmy trailed his finger up and down her arm.

[|ĸιrα|]

[hmmmm]
Esther watched him go, then turned to Caleb and knelt beside him. She put her hand on top of his and squeezed it gently to see if she could get his attention.

"We have a family. Jimmy, we'll get married, I promise," Riley said and planted a chaste kiss on his lips.

[LittleK]

Caleb looked distantly at the door, he let a moment pass and then looked down at their hands and up at Esther. He had opened his mouth to speak and hen closed his mouth.

"If you insist, I just want to make you happy Riles. Whatever it takes..." Jimmy smiled laying on his back.

[|ĸιrα|]

"How are you?" Esther asked him, her voice gentle. She just wanted him to smile.

"You make me happy," Riley said, snuggling against him.

[LittleK]

Caleb's mouth still agape he let go of her hand and tried to piece up what he wanted to say. "I'm home... and I'm relieved."

"I'm never home to make you happy baby..." Jimmy replied closing his eyes, his arms drawing her closer to her.

[|ĸιrα|]

Esther drew her hand away and nodded. "That's good. Can I get you anything?" she asked.

"I'm happy right now," Riley said softly, opening her eyes.

[LittleK]

"Shortbread, I miss the taste of it." Caleb looked up into her eyes and gave  a weak smile.

"I want to give you a home Riles, one where its not stuffed and home that isn't filled with sorrow and I want to give you the life that you deserve." Jimmy said with a long yawn.

[|ĸιrα|]

Esther smiled back and stood up with a nod. "I'll go check the kitchen, alright?" she told him, her hand lingering on the back of his wheelchair.

Riley lifted her head and frowned. His words made her chest ache, so instead of saying anything she just leaned up and kiss his cheek.

[LittleK]

"Its so different, living amongst the people so content with basic necessities. And yet I ask for something so luxurious." Caleb held onto the hand rests as she looked up at the old home and sighed heavily.

Jimmy turned towards her, his eyes still closed. "You don't agree?"
