Since Lorain's passing the home had been...Different. But not in a bad way necessarily. It was still the most peaceful house on the block but not loud or full to the brim with kids like before. Franky inherited the house and invited Candice and Haze to move in with him. He had grown close and fond of the two since he had moved back home and to make things easier on them financially it only made since for them to be there. It was a safer neighborhood, a large house and Franky to cook for the three of them every night. They were like a little family.

Franky was finding however that he was seeing Candice in a different way anymore, just not Haze's Mom. She was a good friend to him but it was inevitable that romantic feelings were bound to bloom. Just her nice gestures, her whimsical laughter and her friendly nature. She was a wonderful woman and Franky was becoming more drawn to it every time her saw her. Which was good in more ways then one, even if she didn't feel the same way, it's good for him to finally move on from Rena.

Franky was just coming in from the grocery store, paper bags all in his arms as he nudged the door open; Jude following in behind him. He was never offically, Lorain's dog. He was just a stray mutt that always followed Lorain around outside the house and she would let him in sometimes. He was a good dog though, he chased off possums and racoons from the house and was in general a well behaved dog.

"I'm back!" Franky announced as he and the dog filed in towards the kitchen.

Candice was standing on a ladder in the corner of the living room with a small bucket of paint in hand as well as a paint brush. She was donned in a pair of paint and caulk smudged overalls and a beat up sweater with her hair sitting in a mess atop her head, her typical DIY outfit. She'd been working on fix-ups all about the house here and there ever since Franky had asked if she and Haze would like to move in with him, it had become a bit of a menial task for her to do on her days off.

She looked away from her task upon hearing Franky call out and felt an involuntary smile spread across her face, one that was almost always present when Franky was around.

"Hey, Franky, in the living room!" She hollered back before stepping down from the ladder.

"I got stuff for dinner, I can start whenever you're hungry." Franky called out before setting the paper bags down on the breakfast bar.

He was like that with Candice, Haze too. Franky genuinly like spoiling them and doing anything for them that needed being done. Since typically Haze was out running about, Franky would make meals based on what Candice was in the mood for and when she was hungry.

"Oh, I can wait a bit." Candice said as she emerged from the living room and into the kitchen, a grin on her face as she strode in. "You should take a load off anyway, after all, you just got back." She said.

"Nonsense, I'm fine." Franky waved her off as he started putting the groceries away. "What are you craving for tonight though?" He asked her, looking up as she strode in.

"Mmm, how about some Italian?" Candice suggested as she made her way across the kitchen and over to Franky to offer her assistance in putting away groceries.

"Alright, anything in specific? Pasta of some sort?" Franky asked. "Or do you mean like, pizza?" He inquired playfully.

Candice gave a grin and a laugh, her nose scrunching up a bit as she took up a few fridge items into her arms and turned around to put them away, her hair whipping about with her as she moved.

"I'm thinking more of the traditional Italian food, not some cheap knock off Americano. So, pasta sounds good." She said, looking over her shoulder to Franky as she went to put the food items away.

"Okay, what kind of pasta?" Franky laughed as he moved around her to put some items away. "You need to be more specific sweetheart."

Candice felt her cheeks flush at the "sweetheart" comment and bit back a bit of a bashful smile as she reached up to brush away her hair.

"Well, I don't know, I really liked that lasagna you whipped up a few weeks back." She said.

"I can do that then. What about sides? Salad or galric toast?" Franky asked, smiling over at her as he folded up one of the paper bags.

"I'm going to have to say salad. I'm beginning to lose my girlish figure with the way you keep feeding us here, Franky." Candice gave a laugh and smiled as she looked over at Franky.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Franky said waving off her comment. "You're beautiful Candice, same as the day I met you." He added.

"Oh stop it." Candice said with a giggle as she gave a bashful shake of her head. "I'm nothing special."

"Well, you're entitled to your opnion. Even if it's wrong." Franky said with a playful wink. "Where's Haze by the way?" He asked, moving around her to the sink.
