modern au! Abe gives Caleb a spare key to his house for emergencies. Caleb uses it to help Mary with housework. she’ll often come home to find her linen folded, or her dishes washed, or the floor scrubbed, and so on. after a while, Mary starts leaving snacks for him. Caleb will break in and see a little note in Mary’s penmanship reading “there’s pie on the kitchen counter and beer in the fridge! you’re an angel, Caleb! ❤, Mary”
eventually, Mary just asks Ben for a list of Caleb’s favourite beers
BENJAMIN: He’ll drink literally any alcoholic substance you give him.
MARY: You think I don’t know that?! I expect a list of at five different beers by the end of the day, do you understand?!
BENJAMIN: I understand! Christ, I’ll do whatever it takes to get you to stop glaring at me like that!
MARY: That’s better. Oh, and find out what his favourite kind of pie is, will you?
