I nod, looking around the restaurant. [color=#B0C4DE]”Well, yes then, and they do serve those things, but I wouldn’t recommend it for breakfast,”[/color] I say, mildly amused.

The waitress comes over and pours us two cups of strong coffee. I had some creme to mine, but no sugar. She sets down two vinyl menus and lists the specials.

”Do you want the usual, darling?” She asks me.

I smile and nod. [color=#B0C4DE]”Thank you, Ronda. Give us a few minutes with the menus, though.”[/color]

“Of course, my dears, take your time,” she says before wandering off again.

[color=#B0C4DE]”You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu,”[/color] I tell her.

I kiss Nero’s forehead, their nose, and their lips. [color=#006400]”You won’t put a damper on anything. It’s just you and me,”[/color] I whisper in assurance.

I’m concerned about what will be brought forth for Nero, but I know that every day, they are getting closer to who they once were and closer to what might unlock their humanity. I’m not sure what will happen to Nero’s soul and this body once they do unlock their humanity, but I am hopeful they will remain all the same.

I smile and shake my head. [color=#DB7093]”It’s not heavy,”[/color] I assure him. I found it sweet how Nic was constantly wanting to look after me. I hoped I’d actually be able to let him do it one day.

I walked around my counter and took Nic’s hand. [color=#DB7093]”Let’s go see about restoring this fountain,”[/color] I said.
