There was something about Owen's hot dad persona that made her feel like she was now also in trouble as he pulled her away to talk privately. An empty corner of the shop was about as confidential as it got in the open floor plan. She looked him over again. Rolled up sleeves attempted to display an aura of casual that was wasted on his perfectly pressed slacks and shining dress shoes. Her heart was pounding in her ears.
His crossed arms seemed to suggest that he thought she was judging him. Which she was but not in the way he thought. She was trying to judge how much taller than her he was. Or how easily he could pick her up. Other than that, she did think he was a bit of a mess but in an 'exhausted man trying his best' sort of way that she found kind of sexy. She liked it when he wore a tie.
She'd lost the plot somewhere at the level of his belt buckle. He was talking to her. Green eyes jumped back to his face. "Don't worry about the display," she reassured. She was pretty sure she was blushing, realizing now how obviously she had been checking him out. Hopefully, she could just blame it on the heat, even though the shop had cooled dramatically as the sun set. "I'm just glad Cain is alright." She gathered enough about the risks of teleportation from Owen's lecture to Cain. "I can replace a few jars."
Julianna leaned to the side to see the boys around him. They were fine as far as she can tell. In retrospect it probably wasn't great for her to have given them an entire jar of honey to eat. She straightened when Owen turned back around. He was looming in a way that made her back up a few paces so she didn't have to crane her neck to much to see him. Her back hit the wall and he pressed his hand behind her and her breath caught in her throat. He was close enough now for her to smell the cologne he was wearing. It was surprisingly floral, but masculine in a smoky way. Her eyes couldn't seen to decide where to settle. They drifted between his grey eyes and the black topmost button of his shirt.
"Oh? What?" She frowned at him. "I didn't use- I can't use magic. It was just a bit of honey with some chamomile. I heard it helped inflammation and infection." She swallowed hard and managed to lock eyes with him. "Healed? Maybe it wasn't as bad a cut as I thought."

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.
