As the days arose in a tepid wind that blew in from the south, so did the flora around them, marking the ground in vital shades of pastel purples and greens, and the distillery owner could no longer deny the sense she was awash with. Whether it be from the spring allergies or simply the midwife's presence making her sway, Marlowe felt elated at the prospect of spending the whole summer by Joelle's side. Mindful fingers would wrap themselves in wheat locks of her lover and pull her ever so close, as the sun peeks in from the panes, bathing them in an ephemeral knowledge. Set out to start the season off right, the brunette told the other woman of her plans to go to a small cabin by the sea, just for the two of them, and only for a few nights as she knew both could not be away from work for too long. But this would be their time to reset and have some much-needed relaxation since both babies and beer did not stop in the portending months. Rocky gravel dusted under her rain boot-clad feet as she went back and forth, packing up the car for their trip. The sound disrupted the nature of the street as a feathery sprinkle started for that morn, Marlowe was just glad Joelle was attending to some work matters (as she too had been responding to some emails and answering some calls in the midst), and she hoped the sun would poke out of the clouds when they arrived.

A satin black Aston Martin DBX pulled across the street from the house of a client when Marlowe was sent the okay to pick her up, an iced peach oolong tea in a travel mug, a change of Joelle's routine hot tea since the weather was glowing out. Leaning against the hood, she could not help the smile that broke the usual blank grimace that painted her canvas as she saw the other, pulling her into a quick hug, her hand resting on Joelle's head before she opened the passenger door for her. "How did it go? Were they so in awe of your skills that they quickly decided to name it Joelle even though it was a boy ─ even though names don't have genders."
