Blind Date Ch13
Krissie: hopefully the cuteness at the beginning of this will ease the heart break to come.

Shadow came home to a quiet house. The sun was setting as he walked outside. His yard was littered with plants now. Many where still in the pots. Some where planted though. There was a wider variety of colors then he expected, but then he remember that he had let Amy take full control of everything while he was at work. All the tools were put away neatly as Shadow walked back inside. The plants would be fine outside. He made himself a cup of tea as he picked up his cell phone. He sent Amy a quick text. His ears perked as he heard the chime of Amy's phone in another room.
What was Rose still doing here? And being so quiet too. Shadow found Amy curled up on the window seat. Her head drooped against the cool glass. She had a notebook in her lap. A pen was still held in her hand. 
Shadow chuckled softly at the sight. She had fallen asleep writing. He picked her up and placed her in a guest bed on the first floor.
(So i got fired from my job after putting in my 2 weeks notice)
He returned and picked up the notebook to see Amy's neat handwriting. She dotted her eyes with hearts he noticed.
It read as follows:
Things Shadow Likes:
Queit places,
Nice things,
Chocolate,
The list went on so long that Amy added another column on the page. Shadow smiled as he felt a bubble of warmth build up in his chest.
He sat at the table smiling at each new item on the list. Inspired, he found a notepad and a pen. The wooden chairs weren't very comfortable, so Shadow relocated to the large plush recliner in his living room. He leaned back and pulled his knee up to prop the notepaf on. He lost track of time as he wrote his matching list.
Amy awoke wrapped in a quilt. She crawlee out of the bed. She felt wobbly since she was half awake and wearing wedge heels. She rubbed her eyes as she walked into the livingroom. She saw the top of Shadow's black quills poking out from the top of the chair. She smirked as she wondered if he could be too busy reading to hear her. She slipped out of her shoes and tiptoed over. She glanced over the ebony hedgehog's shoulder. She beamed at the notepad, happily noticing the title, "List of things Rose likes," neatly printed on top.
"Your handwriting is beautiful," Amy remarked.
"But my list is not as expansive as yours," Shadow laid his leg down and allowed the notepad to sit in his lap. "How was your nap Rose?"
Amy blushed slightly. She attempted to cover it up with a laugh. "It was a great nap. I dreamt of cute bunnies and rainbows."
Shadw arched an eyebrow at her. "Amd her i thought you would dream of white knights and prince charmings."
Amy huffed, "Not always. But that is a common theme." She leaned in with a wide smile. "What do your dreams consist of?"
"Peace amd quiet," Shadow stated. "Normally talking to Maria over tea."
"Oh? Are you tattling on us?" Amy hummed as she sat on the couch next to him.
Shadow tilted his head, "Only a little bit."
"Well, I'm glad taled of our shenanigans can amuse her." Amy laughed. "So since you read my list, Can I read yours?"
Shadow shrugged as he handed it over. It couldn't do him any harm. Amy leaned into the lamp light to read. Shadow wrote in an elegant cursive. It would take her a moment to deceiver. She smiled and nodded as she read each line.
"Rose likes flowers. Rose likes baking." The list continued. Each little dot was true. It made her giddy how many things Shadow noticed that she liked. From basic stuff to the more elaborate stuff like how she liked the spice cabinet organised. She paused as she read the last note on the list. "Surely I didn't just read that?" She thought as dhe read the sentence over and over again.
Neatly written in his hand writing,
"Rose likes denial."
