Back at it Again (One-on-One)

“No, you! I’m not scared of you!”

“If I remember correctly, they can. They’re so cute.”

 

“Oh, hardly,” she replied following. “Now, apologize!”

“I really like the urchins,” he said, dipping his hand into the water.

 

"Landon," she said slowly, her green eyes intense as they met his. "Now."

"Oh, they're not too bad. Just be gentle with them."

 

She grinned and sat back in her chair, opening the door.

"Great! Let's go in."

As he had promised, the urchin was only slightly pointy, barely responding to her touch.

 

"It shows that I'm fond of you. Don't fret."

* * *

"A natural pin cushion!"

 

"Would you have rathered that I kiss you?"

"Forget mantis shrimp. These are what I'm made of."

 

"Exactly. So all's well that ends well."

* * *

"You're made of urchins?"

 

She smirked as they approached the apartment, and Val knocked three times.

"Don't pout."

"What a pair we are. You're urchins and I'm shrimp!"

 

She smirked as the door opened and a smiling blonde realtor looked out at them.

"Ah, the Coopers?"

***

"Soulmates!"

 

Val smirked slightly before extending a hand.

"I'm Val."

The realtor shook it.

"Charmed. I'm Dana Lewin, I think we spoke on the phone...?"

"Yes, that's right in."

Dana opened the door wider.

"Come on in."

"I know, shocker, right?"
