Julianna didn’t know anything about wine. Now, here she was presented with what she could only assume was a very expensive collection of it. She stared down at the options, while he trotted off to say goodnight to the twins. Red, white, rosé ; she honestly wasn’t sure if she liked wine, and worried that any selection she made on her own would be wasted on her. Balking under the pressure of a decision, she closed the drawer and got a glass of her own and poured herself a fair amount from the bottle Owen had already opened.
She was sipping it tentatively when he returned. The smell wasn’t exactly selling her on the beverage and she was trying not to wrinkle her nose behind the glass. A mix of flavors she wasn’t expecting her her tongue. She found the wine to be sweeter than expected, but also very dry. She looked down at the dark liquid and swirled it around in her glass to watch the liquid move. “They’re wonderful babies,” she agreed, giving the wine a second chance as he delved into the topic of his trip. She nodded along with his story, listening quietly and not mentioning that she had had to Google search him to find out anything after Sophia had left in a rush.
She smiled when he smiled, it was inevitable. Something infectious about the curve of his mouth. Jules was going to ask him more about the professor, or if he had been able to see any if Philadelphia while he was there, but she was prevented from attempting further small talk by laughter. Green eyes dropped from his face to the screen in his hands and she was greeted with an image of an infant in a onesie that made it look like a bear, and she immediately giggled. “Awww, is that one a tiger,” she half-whined in her own excited tone.
Julianna didn’t think twice about following Owen to the couch. She sat down next to him, just close enough to see the tablet in his lap. It wasn’t so much that the nanny was forgetting conventions, she just liked that she was being treated like a person for the moment, and not just the help. “Oh my gosh,” she gushed, quickly reaching across him and tapping the screen, loading a webpage of lamb jumpsuits in different colors. “They’re too cute.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
