“Jo…you’ve got dirt in your hair. Ya dirty hippie!”
Jesus has just walked out onto the patio where Mary and Jo are organizing seeds, pots and begonia bulbs, a little breathless, a little flushed. They make knowing, steamy eye contact with each other in reaction to Jesus’s comment…and Jesus doesn’t miss a beat.
“Okayyyy this is clearly some kinky thing between you two and I DO NOT want to know. I need to forget about this interaction immediately.”
Jesus takes in a deep breath, eyes closed, and makes a pushing out gesture with their hands as they breathe out.
“Okay, moving on…Jo, can I eat here tonight? Whatcha making?”
“You know you’re always welcome. But we were just gonna order Sal’s sandwiches tonight because we have a lot of planting to do.”
[More knowing eye contact happens.]
“You know what? I’ll bug Mags to meet me at the diner. You two have fun ‘planting,’” Jesus replies and walks back into the house with a dramatic eye roll.
“Love you, Jeje!” Mary exclaims just as the sliding glass door shuts. But Jesus heard, and turns to blow their mom a kiss thru the glass. She catches it.
They wait until they hear the front door shut, some distant whistling from Jesus, and then Jo asks Mary quietly, with husk in his throat, with wild green in his eyes,
“Well…shall we plant the begonias?”
