And so he returns, reentering Sookie's living room, once again in dirty jeans and with muddy feet.

He sits down on her couch, cautiously, and realizes that she must be on the phone with someone out in the kitchen.

Going "Pam? Pam?"

Then she hangs up and reappears with a basin of water for his dirty feet. Apologizing because it's grown cold by now, the water.

"I don't mind," he says, looking intently at her as she kneels down and wrings a washcloth.

Her touch is gentle and he pulls one foot back a little, surprising her with a suppressed giggle.

It tickles.

She seems sceptical as she returns her attention to his feet. As if he doesn't fit.

Like in Milliways.

He suddenly, urgently, wants to kiss her, but you can't. Not just like that.
So instead he leans forward , just a little, and says, "You're very beautiful."

She looks up. Even more sceptical.
"Uhm - thanks?"

Pam blinks.

What?

For a moment she looks stunned.

No, no, no, apologies aren't what she wants to hear from Eric. It's all wrong. It's all so wrong.

Her expression hardens again, the very picture of a century of undeterred loyalty.

"Eric Northman, you are my Maker," she says, putting the fierceness back into her voice. "And I swear to you, I will find a way to get your memories back."

Eric blinks.

She's - very intense about this.
About him.

It's a little unsettling. Kinda a lot unsettling really.

"Uhm."

He worries his bottom lip a little. Darts a quick look at Sookie who looks like she really wants this conversation to be over - and says, "Thank you."

Earnestly.

Pam nods once.

Eric has no idea just how intense she can be about him.

As for Sookie, she'll have one of Eric's daytime people deliver payment in the morning. Cash.

Then with one last look at both of them, Pam is gone, leaving the front door wide open, curtains fluttering in the breeze.
