It was getting much too easy to wander into the kitchen in the morning and find Lucas already there. Lucas might be too nice of a sight for several reasons, not the least of which was the discovery that heâd made coffee this morning, evidently moments before Robin had come downstairs.
Lucas was in the sweater and sweatpants that he must sleep in, meaning the heating vent in the guest room wasnât working all that well, and standing at the side door, holding a cup of coffee and staring out.
âThe rain finally took down some of the fences for the pens,â he remarked, stopping Robin before he could reach the coffee machine.
Robin was going to have to make a decision about the pens. Heâd known that for a while. Tear them down for safety reasons and reuse or sell what he could, or repurpose them, although into what he had no idea, or fill them with sheep again.
Which was a dream.
âToo early in the morning for dreams,â he declared, cranky, and got his coffee while Lucas turned all the way around to look at him. âDonât worry about the yard.â Robin was marginally less cranky after his first burning sip. âOr the house, for that matter. Like I said before, you donât have to do anything if you donât want to.â
âI have my orders.,â Lucas remarked lightly.
âI doubt you take orders,â Robin grumbled into his cup.
An odd, fleeting smile passed over Lucasâ face. He didnât explain it. He simply said, âThereâs no bread for toast but I can make oats again.â
Robin pointed at himself. âI will make something.â
He made oats again first, because they had them. And while the water was heating up, he made an omelet for Lucas since Lucas would be doing more physical work than Robin. Robin had no chives or mushrooms, and he wasnât sure about Lucas and cheese, but eggs, butter, salt, and pepper were enough for a hungry man anyway.
âMore eggs,â he commented once as he considered what else to do, secure in the knowledge that Lucas would write it down. If Robin was going to dream of sheep, he should probably also dream of chickens, but Robin certainly wasnât going to deal with them.
They should buy eggs in bulk while Lucas was here, at least. Flour and oats too. Robin had those added to the list, and more citrus, since it was the season for it, even if the rain was a problem.
He brought the omelet and a bowl of oats to the center island for Lucas, let Lucas sweeten a bowl of oatmeal for him and then make sure he ate it, but now that he was focused on a task, Robin didnât particularly want to eat.
Lucas made noises about that, so once Robin had bread dough rising, he stopped to finish his cold oatmeal under Lucasâ sharp eye.
âIâll make scones too,â he assured Lucas, thinking of oranges.
âAnd eat them?â Lucas returned unhappily, but put the bowls in the sink and left the kitchen while Robin was freezing butter and zesting an orange.
