Lost Creek Hollow If you've changed your mind

despite all his urges to attempt to be petty, terance nodded. her display of submission (something not too often rewarded to him from treason) was enough to ease his anxiety and frustration over it for now. he'd let her off the hook, if only because she was being a little bit sweet. he returned her little nudge with a few licks to the cheek,  "absolutely," he chimed, deciding that right now was not the time to start fights between them. wait until actual problems arose, then he could exercise his more obnoxious, petty side. for now, this would merely fizzle in the back of his mind until it erupted again. just a little grudge terance could hold against her, now. a little one, he'd forget about it most times, probably. hopefully it wouldn't get any worse. 

he let her have the first (well, she'd already started to dig in, right?) choice and then would follow her lead. pregnant ladies first, an all that.
