"Too right." The angel jogged his load of high-calorie, high-fat. "So what you say? I got fries, too. No sundaes. I didn't know how long it would take for someone to open the door for me, and I didn't want them to melt."
Tohr looked at Autumn. Then they both looked at the angel.
As one, they stepped in and embraced the guy, and what do you know, the son of a bitch held them back.
"I'm really glad this worked out," Lassiter whispered in all seriousness. "For you two."
"Thanks, man," Tohr said in return. "I owe you one.... Shit, I owe you everything."
"You did a lot of it yourself."
"Except for that last bit," Autumn pointed out. "That was you, Lassiter."
"Meh. Who's counting. Between friends, you know."
The three of them eased back, and then after an awkward moment, they walked into the dining room. As they sat down at one end and Lassiter began passing out the goods, Tohr had to laugh. He and this angel had started with the golden arches... and here they were again.
"Much better than that cave, right?" Lassiter murmured as he handed over fries.
Tohr glanced over at Autumn and couldn't believe how far they all had come. "Yeah. Really, totally... completely much better."
"Plus this place has cable."
As Lassiter winked at them both, Tohr and Autumn started grinning.
"It does, angel. It so does... and anytime you want the clicker, it's yours for the taking."
Lassiter barked out a laugh. "Damn, you really are grateful."
Tohr stared at Autumn and found himself nodding. "You bet your ass I am. Eternally grateful... I am... Eternally. Grateful."
On that note, he kissed his female... and bit into his Big Mac.
The End
