[Peter is exceptionally good sometimes as masking his first response. The name Sara (even without the 'h') near triggers something in him. He squashes any image of that bitch of a sister of his as he replies.]
[On one hand Peter does want to keep her within eyesight. It's her parent's place but he's an untrusting soul at time even in the safest of spaces. Evangeline has given him no reason though to not trust her alone with her father -- it's not like she's kidnapped and he's trying to keep her from telling anyone after all.
He tries to keep the moment of unease stuffed down with a sheepish smile, patting her shoulder.]
Trust me, you don't want me anywhere near the kitchen. We'll be fine out here.
[He looks to Sara now.]
Unless you want to go help too? I'll be honest here, I'm useless in the kitchen.
[Peter flushes beautifully with the kiss and the adoration is clear on his face as he watches Evangeline leave for the kitchen. He turns to answer her mother's question with a doting grin.]
Would you believe me if I said it was love at first sight?
[Peter's smile only brightens at that. Good, he's glad others can see it so readily. It just proves to him more firmly that his love must be real.
That said he did pick up on the unspoken aspect of the question thankfully.]
There's a flower shop I like to go to that happens to be in your daughter's neighborhood. I watched her pass by at least two or three times before I worked up the nerve to go introduce myself.
[He's not lying either, it was at least two or three times. Probably more like thirty or fourty times and he'd been stalking her for months by the time he finally introduced himself.]
[Evangeline obviously loved her parents. If they liked him and he even asked for their consent he could only imagine she'd be even happier for the eventual proposal.]
[He stops before he skips off though to offer an arm out to Evangeline's mother. His tone is playful to make up for the misstep of not really giving a damn about anyone but Evangeline.]

[Evangeline kisses his cheek, then heads to the kitchen to help her dad.]
Oh, no, it'd be rude to leave you all alone. Besides, I want to hear more about you! How did you meet my daughter?

[She meant more where they met, in what circumstance, etc. but she's not going to contest love at first sight.]

[Evangeline's a sucker for flowers from her boyfriend, of any variety.]
no subject
Good.
[He casts a glance to the kitchen and then leans towards Sara.]
Don't tell her this but I had it made for her. I noticed the flowers she liked and had it custom ordered. I was relieved it turned out so well.

You wouldn't mind if I did?

[Evangeline would be absolutely thrilled, it's true.]
no subject
Ahaha, well, better to be cautious than assume anything, right?
[Because I was stalking your daughter for months, crawling into her bedroom and humping her leg like a dog in heat.]

What are you two talking about?
[Oh Evangeline's back.]
no subject
[Naturally it's more than that but he's not about to tattle on her mother or anything. Instead he's quick to cross over to Evangeline's side again.]
How's the cooking going?
no subject
[Peter does like to be helpful, and setting a table is a lot easier than cooking.]

Oops, don't want to leave anyone behind!
no subject
He absolutely is. The perfect boyfriend in every way that matters.
[The other stuff obviously does not matter.]
