"Hey Jan," Apple said, his voice had lightened up at seeing her and he forced himself to get out of bed and slump over to her. He took the plate of cookies and put them on the desk and turned back to Janis, wrapping his arms around her. He leaned down, nuzzling her neck with his face. "Thanks," he whispered into her hair.

"You know I love cookies," he said stepping back a little and taking her hands in his. He forced a little smile for her. It was better than moping right?
