Sleepover! (Closed for Amelie)

They'd been lounging around since lunch. Daniel had been working a little bit while Amelie tapped away on her laptop, both of them just sitting in Daniels apartment in comfortable silence. At some point Daniel had gotten bored of actual work and started sketching his favourite subject.

"So Miss Coombs, how does it feel to be the muse for international artist superstar Daniel Thornton?" He said, smiling over at her as he drew.

Daniel snorted. "Demetri, maybe, but James not so much. The police force wasn't what Father wanted him to do and now with Davin..." He grinned. "James and I are pretty much on the same disappointment level."

Reaching up, Daniel ran his fingers through her hair, smiling. "You could always try something else. Teaching is always going to be there."

"Well, that makes me feel a little bit better at least," she says with a laugh. "I didn't want to be solely responsible for ruining the Thornton legacy."

She leans in to his touch happily. "I think I want to quit." It's the kind of thing that hadn't felt real until she says something out loud. She feels like her and Aoife are starting to switch places, and she wonders whether Daniel will love her less for it. She hopes not.

"Then you should quit." He said. "Nothing worse than doing a job you don't want to be doing." Maybe it wasn't fashionable to think that way but he didn't care. He just wanted Amelie to be happy with whatever she did.
