There is a phantom feeling that stirs in her musculature, the quiet desire to have reached out and touch his hand. It was nothing compared to the twinge of electricity that went through her fit at the errant desire to lift so a woman couldn't necessarily kiss his cheek but to tell him how handsome he was - remind him how much she loved him. It was a struggle denying those most natural movements. It made her wonder if they were wrapped in something dying or if what had always been there could be salvaged and saved. It was to early to call it - put a name on what they were again. Devin mirrored his smile shaking her head at the thought. "My mother could never not love you - of all people. If she or one of the aunties pop out from behind an art piece I wouldn't be surprised" She spoke extending her hand forward towards the area they'd all be in - cooking together. Closer then they had been in months saying more in these few second then had been said in all that time. "Shall we then - do this damn thing - you pick the recipe and we get through this?"

Edgar had known that this would happen. Okay, he hadn’t known but he’d strongly suspected that this would be a set up. Still, when Devin’s mother had called and asked for him to join their party at the Anvil dinner event, he’d agreed. Mostly because the Nguyen family had always made him feel included and saying no to the matriarch, even when his marriage to her daughter was rocky at best and over at worse, was something that made him feel guilty, but now, the maternal machinations had worked, and he and Devin were left alone and Edgar wasn’t quite sure how to handle that. “Hi,” he greeted, a self deprecating twist to his lips. “I think your mother would actually be disappointed if I didn’t partner with you and I don’t think I’m prepared for that phone call tomorrow.”

Devin gave a wicked grin shaking her head shaking her finger at Shawn. "Yes of course - take you out like a snipper. Quick and easy" She pouts trying not to chuckle as she bowed her head. It was time they reconnected, recentered themselves. "Of course I mean dinner. All the fixings and then what would dinner be without dessert? I will have you back at a reasonable hour my friend or we can be completely unreasonable and pretend to be teenagers again sneaking back into the house trying not to make a sound. I'll drive."

Shawn was locking up her office for the day. When she started doing this job it was really for the nostalgia of it and because she already knew far too much about this town. It wasn't like her original plan was viable anymore. But now, it felt far more important. Or at least useful. She couldn't help but smile as Devin caught her just as she was walking back down the steps.

"You do mean take me out like for dinner, right? Not like a sniper?" She laughed and tilted her head to the side. It was true, they hadn't spent time together in a while. Not since her father moved in with her. She'd distanced herself a lot since then. "Because if it's dinner, then I'm starving."

"How fares the president of the paxton historical society, my dear friend - fellow badass. Are there any events coming up you need a hand in planning or can I just take one of my best girls out to treat a friend?" Devin inquired pushing hands into her tailored pockets, kicking the ground softly. "I feel like its been too long since we've spoken" She spoke in a calm, collected tone with a hint of a smile. The Yang-Fortier took a deep breath knowing she'd rather not dive into discussing anything related to the CM when it wasn't a needed discussion but if the two combined their powers - her legal acumen and shawn's historical knowledge it was half a thought to get buildings registered with the state as historical properties. massive amounts of land even perhaps put down as a national park. Perhaps she'd mention it one of these days but now wasn't the time.

Leaning up against a door frame of the fine dining establishment - fingers traced the familiar wood grain as if she could pluck the precious memories from the fibers of the beams before clearing her throat. Red high heels crossed one over the other as she leaned further, jeans hugging curves like a lover and a fine shirt - rather casual for the Anvil. It felt like a set-up by mama and the aunties to make plans and then cancel only to see Edgar there looking the way he always did. She'd have some words for the women of the nguyen family that liked to meddle in her mangled married state "Hello there, stranger. Seems like the aunties set me up good - care to partner up for this or are you just here to eat?"
