"Hey, your Mounties are here again!" Lucy said, pausing with a stack of plates on her way to the kitchen.

"Where?" Caroline asked, craning her head to look, before she remembered herself. "They're not my Mounties!"

"Yeah?" Lucy said, grinning. "They're asking for you. Table seven."

Caroline straightened her apron and headed over there.

"Caroline!" said Bob, standing up to greet her. Buck stood, too. Now she couldn't help blushing--guests did not usually stand up to greet their waitress.

"Oh, sit down with you," she said, smiling despite herself. "What will you have?"

They were, as Lucy had observed earlier, a very handsome pair in their uniforms. Caroline had first met them when she was out hunting with her father last winter. They'd come sledding as if the devil was after them, stopping to ask for directions. Supposedly they were after a Russian spy who was masquerading as a fur trapper.

She'd next seen them this spring, when she'd started her summer job as waitress, and she hadn't thought they'd recognize her. Caroline was not the most vain of women, but Bob's double-take and widened eyes when he saw her was very gratifying, she had to admit.

They'd both taken off their hats and introduced themselves properly. Business had been slow, and Caroline had been regaled with a doubtless much exaggerated account of the business of the Russian spy.

"So what have you been up to this time?" Caroline said, taking their orders.

They glanced at each other. "Oh, nothing much," Bob said.

Buck nudged him with his elbow. "Admit it."

"What?"

"He got away from you."

"He did not! He's just not caught yet."

Caroline grinned. She loved watching their familiar back-and-forth teasing. She glanced around, then sat down. "Come on, tell me about it."

Oh, they are so SWEET! I love Caroline's "Where?" before she remembers to protest ownership. =)

Nice detail of the North -- Bob's eyes popping when he sees her for the first time in indoor clothes!

[luzula]

Yeah, I'm guessing he didn't see much more than her face the first time. *g*

[mergatrude]

LOVE!!! This is gorgeous! ♥

[luzula]

[spuffyduds]

Awwww! I love that she's kind of falling for their relationship with each other.

[luzula]

Thanks! And yeah, I guess that's why I used the threesome label...

So cute. I'd love to see more of this.

[luzula]

Thanks! I am so fond of those three. I'm probably not going to write more of this, but you can check out this if you want more Bob, Buck and Caroline. Er, with added werewolves.

Hee! I liked this little look at them.
