Polly pulls within herself as a spoken reminder of Jason is directed at her.

The Yearly 365 Challenge

Prompt #352 (Food) – Shepherd's Pie

"I asked him once." Polly turned her tired blue eyes to meet those of the green eyes of Melody. "I asked him once." Melody repeated.

"Umm okay." Polly was curious why the sixteen year old blond Pussy cat was suddenly speaking to her. After all during her attending full time at Riverdale High school she never really spoke to Melody.

"I asked Jason once about why he loved Shepherd's Pie." Melody nodded her head.

Unshed tears over clouded Polly's eyes as she pulled within once more. "Oh that's nice." She wasn't even aware that she had spoken.

"Jason said that he loved Shepherd's Pie because he always wanted to take you to Ireland." Melody tilted her head to the right. "We were small children back then." She placed a gentle hand on Polly's tight shoulder. "Even back then you were in his heart." She sighed.

Polly turned her head to meet the green eyes of the slightly younger girl. She silently nodded in understanding.
