Jon didn't think he could eat today, he was so fucking nervous. And when he was nervous, he started reading into thinks. Did he look freakish? What was unfair about his attractiveness? Was Stephanie going to be cruel? Cause kids were! They pointed out every flaw with a smile and he wasn't damn eager for it but he didn't have time to stick on any of that cause Edward was taking his coat and pushing him forward. "A prince? I ain't no prince. I'm ... yeah. Dunno. Creepy villain that lives in the woods or somethin'."

Stephanie looked at Jonathan longer and then came up to him and held out her picture. "It's pumpkins cause you like Halloween. Dad told me."

Dad. Woah. The Riddle was a dad - it sounded so weird. Jonathan took the picture and looked at it. Looked like a bunch of basketballs but damn, it was sweet. Kids never gave him shit. "Damn, ain't you a little artist? Real good work. Thank you."

"Your eyes are sooooo blue." Stephanie added suddenly and then turned to Edward, grinning. "He's pretty enough, daddy. I checked. You can marry him."
