Ben chuckled and shook his head.

Tom followed the panther.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:15 am

Ben stayed where he was, just looking at the ground.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:22 am

"Ben?" Tom looked back as he reached the door.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:27 am

"You go ahead, I'll catch up." Ben called.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 11:30 am

"Ben..." Tom insisted.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 12:24 pm

"Really, love. I'm fine." Ben said with a smile.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:23 pm

Tom frowned but went inside nonetheless.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:30 pm

Ben smiled at the way Tom had gone and then took a few deep breaths before heading inside.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:35 pm

Tom was waiting for him with a smile.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:39 pm

Ben smiled at Tom.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:40 pm

"Hey," Tom smiled, leaning close.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:47 pm

"Hi." Ben said, placing a hand on Tom's waist.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:49 pm

Tom was about to speak again when three balls of fur raced past them, nearly knocking him over.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:50 pm

Ben steadied Tom and chuckled.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:53 pm

Tom looked after them and sighed. "They'll knock something over like that..."

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 1:58 pm

"Well as long as it's an ugly vase and not you. I can't replace you." Ben said softly.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:06 pm

"Hey, my vases aren't ugly!" Tom protested.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:09 pm

Ben chuckled and kissed Tom's head. "Did I say ugly? I meant antique."

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:11 pm

Tom hummed happily. "That's better."

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:16 pm

Ben chuckled again as Jo came running down the stairs with a huge grin on her face.

"I have to tell Owen!" she said excitedly.

Ben held out his smart phone and Jo quickly took it, with a thanks, and ran off to call Owen.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:17 pm

Tom laughed. "That's the happiest I've seen her,"

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 2:41 pm

"Hopefully that'll keep Owen off my back." Ben said.

Jo held the phone to her ear as she heard it ringing.

by **feathertail** Mon Oct 12, 2015 3:09 pm

After a few rings the tone stopped. "Hello?" A little voice asked.

by **Caroline Berry** Mon Oct 12, 2015 3:52 pm

"Sammy? Is that you? It's Jo." Jo said.
