"Will you quit?"

Beau sighs as you snag one of his m&ms again. You were on highway patrol after a long and uneventful day, staked out behind a bundle of trees.

"You don't like the green ones anyways."

You complain through a mouthful of chocolate. Beau tries and fails to hide a grin, smirking over at you.

"They all taste the damn same. You just made up a color bias so you could get some."

Beau would be lying if he said he didn't think you were absolutely adorable. Just a young cop from a big city, moved out to Helena for a fresh start. From what, he didn't know, but he had his own damn demons to hide. Beau understood not talking about them.

"Well, this ain't as fun as your job in Chicago now is it, city girl?"

He asks, handing over another handful of green m&ms to you.

"It's quieter. I like it a lot."

You respond, dumping the chocolate into your mouth while Beau genuinely laughs this time.

"We can stop and get dinner if you're that damn hungry. There's a fast food place about a mile up the road."
