"Isn't it nice?" Lucy asked, biting into her apple with a crisp sound, small sharp teeth sinking home.

Susan gave her a sideways look.

"I think he made it for you," her little sister told her cheerfully, swinging her legs and watching Trufflehunter scold Trumpkin down by the edge of the stream.

"And I," Susan said very primly indeed, "do not think it any of your business."

"I was just saying--" Lucy began, all tones of injured innocence.

"Don't talk with your mouth full," Susan said sternly.

Lucy obediently finished chewing and swallowed. "I just thought it was nice of him, that's all."

"None of your business," Susan reminded her.

Lucy waved a hand, dismissive. "It's pretty, though, isn't it?"

Susan's fingers flew to her throat and a flush climbed her cheeks. "Yes," she said softly. "Beautiful."

"Did you thank him?" Lucy pursued.

Susan turned a sharp eye on her. "Yes," she said. "Not your business."

"Is that why you were gone last--"

Susan pushed her smartly off the rock and into the creak, and only made it three steps before Lucy, thoroughly distracted and sopping wet, tackled her onto the grass.
