[Howl is out doing some errands when there's a knock on the front door. There's a delivery of about eight separate bouquets of flowers, all of Sophie's favourites. A note is attached to one.]

Sorry past me was such a massive twat. Hope you like these.

Do you know where the vases in this house are? A massive twat sent me an awful lot of flowers, and I've no seven league boots to stuff them in this time.

You could empty out the milk jug.

A hundred knick-knacks and bottles and boxes in this house and not one vase. Milk jug it is.

Are you going to send me flowers after every curse?

text;

[conesoldstober]

Maybe. Did it work?

text;

[mrsnose]

I don't know. But the flowers are lovely. First time I've gotten flowers, actually.

[conesoldstober]

Really? That surprises me.

[mrsnose]

Hatters make their own hats, florists pick their own flowers, I suppose.

Would you like to go to dinner tonight as well? I feel like we've earned it.

text;

[mrsnose]

Like...one of those 'dates'?

text;

[conesoldstober]

That is the intention, yes. Interested?

text;

[mrsnose]

Are you wooing me?

text;

[conesoldstober]

Only if it's working.

text;

[mrsnose]

And what would it be if it weren't working?

text;

[conesoldstober]

A waste of my perfectly delightful charm?

text;

[mrsnose]

We'll see how delightful it is, I suppose.

text;

[conesoldstober]

And is that a yes?

text;

[mrsnose]

Yes, you may woo me.

text;

[conesoldstober]

Excellent! 6:30 work well for you?

[mrsnose]

I'll be ready.

Just after midnight on Monday

[conesoldstober]

[The blankets on Sophie's bed are pulled back and a familiar shape slips inside.]

Oh thank god. I was praying you wouldn't still be nine years old when I woke up.

perfect timing too, you read my mind

[mrsnose]

[Two minutes. Two minutes is the time it takes from the point where Sophie wakes up feeling bigger and in place all of a sudden, and the moment Howl comes in.

She rolls over to face him, brushing her hair behind her ears.]

Trust me, I have more reasons to fear that you do. I should've guessed you'd be a brat.

[conesoldstober]

It's not my fault I was unloved and abandoned. Of course I'd act out.

[Come here, he's feeling sappy for once. He throws an arms comfortably around her waist, settling in his favourite sleeping position.]
