Carrie smiled, odviously enjoying the attention. "Okay, very sexy."

Xander grinned before finally sighing and releasing her hand and rubbing his forehead. "Thak god I don't have work tomorrow...."

Carrie nodded, pushing back her hair again. Perhaps a haircut was in order next time she had the day off from school. She'd been going to night school for some time now, working getting her GED and then going to med school to become, of a things, pathologist. "Right, you do. Maddy has a play date I need to take her to."

((ooc: Skippage, next morning.))
Cass puttered around the kitchen, hair still dripping from a recent bath and wrapped up in one of Frank’s work shirts that fell down to her knees. Frank and Gabriel had left with the promise to bring back clothes and something sugary and artery clogging for breakfast but still weren’t back yet and Cass was getting impatient.

Xander sighed, shifting nervously on the doorstep before finally knocking, running a hand through his short hair and trying to tell himself that coming to breakfast wasn't considered cheating on his wife.

Cass flinched and visibly tensed at the sound, knowing instantly who it was. Frank, no matter how much he swore to give her privacy, wouldn’t knock to get into his own home. She took a shaky breath and smoothed her now shoulder length hair behind her ears before heading towards the front of the house. She pulled the door open, taking a step back to let Xander in.
“Hi.” She crossed her arms, mostly to hide the fact that her hands were shaking.

"Morning..." Xander shifted on his feet, trying to smile

“…right.” Cass looked away, at anything but him. She opened her mouth to say something but closed it firmly, looking down. “Well, come in.”
She turned her back to him, heading towards the kitchen. “Gabe went out with Frank but they should be back soon. You can watch tv while you wait.”

Xander chuckled without humor, following after her. "I'd rather eat paint, Cass, than sit around and watch TV..."

“I think Frank has some in the garage.” Cass glanced back at him before leaning against the counter.

"I think I'll pass." Xander said with an amused smile. "Wouldn't want to ruin my appetite."

Cass shrugged, turning away from him to poke at the coffee machine, effectively giving her an excuse to not have to look at him. “I’m sorry for one of the things I said last night. I didn’t mean it.”

"Which one would that be?" Xander asked gently

“About Gabe.” Cass answered in a distracted tone, looking for the filters even though she had no intentions of making coffee. “I wouldn’t keep him away from you. I’d like for him to know his father.”
“And, you know,” She glanced at him briefly before resuming her search. “Arguing isn’t nearly as much fun when you don’t stick around for the make-up sex.”

"In my defense, you did fall asleep..." Xander said slowly. "And I'm glad. About Gabe, that is. He's a good kid...."

“He is.” Cass paused, looking down at her hands on the counter. “Listen, Xander, the last time I checked, I was eighteen… So, I realize I must seem immature to you but if,” She paused again, hunching her shoulders.
“And I understand this is a really big ‘if’, but if we’re going to try to work this thing out between us I’m going to need you to be patient with me.”

Xander took a step forward and rested his hand gently on her shoulder. "Cass.... It's just hard." he sighed, dropping his hand. "I'm sorry I'm not just like I used to be. I always hoped..."

“Hoped what?” Cass asked, succeeding in keeping most of the pain out of her voice.

"I just really hoped... that you'd be proud of me." Xander said defeatedly

“Xand,” Cass gave a strangled laugh to cover a whimper. “You know I’m too selfish for that.”
“You know,” Cass squeezed her eyes closed for a few seconds before opening them to stare blankly at the wall. “If we’re not going to work, I wish you’d say so.”
