Dialogue Prompts: 14- "I'm sorry. I didn't know." 15- "Please don't argue."
"Swan, please don't argue." His hand tugged lightly on her own, urging her to follow him as she reached around her with the other, the blindfold covering her eyes making it hard to watch her steps.
"Killian, please, I don't really like surprises."She almost fell as he began pulling her up the stair without warning.
"Please just humor me a moment longer. I think, perhaps, you'll change your mind when you see what I have in store." She rolled her eyes behind the blindfold.
He'd called her from the station saying she needed to come to the loft right away and no matter how many times she questioned him, he wouldn't explain why. She'd sighed but grabbed her jacket from the chair nonetheless and headed for home. When she arrived, she'd found him waiting outside the door pacing as he waited. Without explanation, he'd gestured for her to turn around so he could tie the blindfold around her head, ignoring her protests.
And now here they were, climbing, or in her case stumbling, up the stairs that led to her bedroom where some sort of surprise awaited them.
"Alright, here we are, Swan." They'd finally reached the top of the stairs and she heard Killian step behind her and then the blindfold moved from in front of her eyes.
"Killian, it's beautiful" she exclaimed. As she looked around her small room she saw that he'd pushed her furniture to the outer edges in order to make room for a small table and two chairs. The table was set simply and looked to hold some of her favorites, grilled cheese and onion rings. "From Granny's?" she asked gesturing towards the food.
"Only the onion rings. I made the grilled cheese but I cannot figure out how Granny makes those blasted things."
"Thank you, Killian." She reached for his hands, this time taking both firmly in her own. "It's perfect."
"I thought you deserved a proper lunch break for once instead of eating at the station again. You've been putting in a lot of work lately. So how are you feeling about surprises now?" he asked as her led her again by the hand to the table, stepping behind her to help her with her chair, ever the gentleman.
"I'm sorry I put up such a fight. I didn't know you had something so lovely up your sleeve."
"Well I am glad that perhaps I helped change your mind a little in regards to surprises."
"Surprisingly, you have." She laughed, one of his most favorite sounds adding to what would likely remain one of his favorite moments.
