â€œOh! You startled meâ€¦â€ Dinner was about ready to be served when Samuel had entered the kitchen carrying his gift for Lisa. At first he had been ignored, she was too focused on what she was doing.<br/><br/>As always she was working hard to prepare a good meal for the two of them. There was no company, unlike last time when her neighbor showed up. Pot roast was on the menu tonight, a last minute meal that was thrown together at the last minute as those meals were her specialty. She liked to add her own touches to things and never followed a recipe exactly as she should to give it a little character. Whenever she cooked she really got into it, as well, so one could only imagine the little jump scare she got when she heard someone else was in the kitchen. However what had surprised her even more was the fact that Samuel had actually started to neatly place dishes out on the table. He even set up a candle, which finding it was a bit humorous in a strange way.<br/><br/>Lisa turned to him when he spoke, however, a bit surprised that he had been the one to start a conversation. â€œYouâ€™re not interrupting anything, Iâ€™m glad to see that you came down early. Thank you for the gift, that was really sweet of you.â€ She said softly and flashed a smile as she went to check to see if the pot roast was done; it probably could have used another ten minutes but she pulled it out anyway. Pot roast was one of her favorite things to prepare, naturally it had to be done the way she liked it or it just wouldnâ€™t do. Gravy had been prepared to go with the baked potatoes, her preference was just a baked potatoes covered in butter and gravy, homemade. Everything Lisa had prepared tonight was home made. Making her meals by hand was how she preferred to cook. She wouldnâ€™t have it any other way.<br/><br/>â€œIf you want to make dinner tomorrow, that would be lovely. I have a lot I need to do anyway.â€ She really was not in the mood to discuss the events of today, but he seemed to feel that he should be sorry. A response would usually be given whenever he felt he was sorry or was getting in the way. Not today, today she decided to not respond to that and focus on dinner. Maybe some sort of praise should be given, she thought, but she didnâ€™t want to be patronizing lest he retreat back into his shell and she would have to work to get him to come out again.<br/><br/>While she Samuelâ€™s plate was carefully prepared and handed it to him before Lisa helped herself just as she had done for the past two years he has been living with her. She really wasnâ€™t sure what she should say this time around. Then again dinner was always pretty quiet between the two of them. Her gaze fell to the gift Samuel had brought for her, and she decided to open it. To her surprise it was a gorgeous diary, which she would probably end up recording information about the sessions, other day to day projects, and personal thoughts within, she was definitely going to use this quite a bit. It seemed to suit her as well which made her smile. She has been meaning to get herself a diary for awhile now so this was nice of him to bring her this gift. This would be the first time he has given her something.<br/><br/>â€œI like it,â€ Lisa commented, picking the empty up to take a further look. â€œIâ€™ll definitely use it.â€ Yes, the conversation would be taken to the diary and not the session. It might have been a little plain but again she thought it suited her for some reason. When she looked at it she was reminded of Samuel in so many ways. Maybe she would be able to use the diary as some sort of encouragement during sessions, perhaps help strengthen the bond between them as well.
