With a look of surprise, Darcy snatched the stuffed animal out of the air after it was lobbed in his direction. He stood in the bed of the truck and turned the toy this way and that, surveying the mangled and dirty thing. Noting the missing leg, his gaze lifted upwards to watch Owen from the tops of his eyes. “Yeah,” Darcy mused slowly, jumping off the end of the truck. “For the kid.” There wasn’t much more he needed to say to tease the other man. He moved around and ducked into the open window to set the horse up on the dashboard. Listening to Owen mouth off all the while.
“Oh, she is, is she?” Darcy sounded skeptical as he leaned against the truck. He was surprised to see his partner in a good mood and not also inebriated. A pleasant change that he didn’t comment on. His response to being smacked with the pamphlet and threatened to be replaced was to roll his eyes. “Please. Please, do me the fucking favor.”
He waved Owen off with a groan, turning back to the work at hand, that Owen somehow always managed to wiggle out of. “You’ll be lucky if she doesn’t rip that arm off your body,” he yelled after him.
Julianna walked in on Owen fiddling with one of her old two-way radios. “Don’t touch that,” she whined. She crossed the room, and nudged him away from the machinery with her hips. “I’ve almost got it working again.” She turned the device this way and that to make sure that nothing was out of place with it. "I think."
Finding her work satisfactory, she turned and started gathering things off one of the tables into her arms. “Hop on up there,” she directed when it was cleared. She dumped an armload of things on another workbench. “And let me see these plans.”

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.
