Her eyes had drifted away from Alec's some time during his explanation as she had found that all too strikingly honest, especially that part about her poor Anthony. He had always been a dreamer, having all those wonderful backyard adventures and constantly throwing away any idea of a 'normal life' for the unknown and unexpected.
"Alec has always been good at looking after others." Evelyn agreed but just so Alec didn't feel left out she looked back at him gently but with a warning edge, "But, he could stand to look after himself better. Have you even eaten anything today?"
You were going to. She was about to make feeding Alec and ensuring he got the rest he hadn't been getting at his place her second mission. Right after tea. She folded her hands around her cup, gazing down into the amber liquid as if looking for guidance.
"I have been worried about what happened since I received that nice young lady's phone call. Grace, that was her name. They had sounded so happy, about to be married to start a new life together, and then just like that everything fell apart... Was that all from these so called memories? And you are saying I should leave? I couldn't possibly leave... not while my boys are in trouble!"
Evelyn's eyes fell on Aziraphale again, a momma bear ready to protect her cubs from any threat even if it seemed perfectly harmless sitting there drinking his tea. He was in better shape than poor Alec, more put together... aside from a few nervous twitchings.
"And you Mr. Fell? You've been terribly quiet. Don't you have anything to say for yourself? I'd like to know more about the man my Anthony is throwing his future away for."
About that time Alec's phone jangled.
Why are you panicking?? You are supposed to be resting! GO TO SLEEP!!
Five minutes later.
Shit! Aziraphale!! Is he there already??!! Shit, shit, shit!
Then Aziraphale's phone jangled.
I am so sorry!! I lost track of time but I'm on my way. Just tell mom to put her fangs away.
Five minutes later again.
And compliment the cookies! It helps to compliment the cookies!!
