She squinted at his back before following him, walking quickly to slip her hand in his. * * * "Says the liar."
Landon opened the door carefully, a few boxes in his arms. *** She paused before smirking in a teasing way. "I don't recall trying to steal myself."
Val followed, also carrying several boxes. “We did it! We’re adults!” *** He looked up at her before the bagels popped out of the toaster. “I don’t own you.”
“IKEA really is the place where dreams come true.” *** He had to smile before pulling the bagels out of the toaster. “Is that right?”
“But that’s to be expected for our first visit.” *** He tossed them on a plate and passed hers to her. “Then you and the bagels are tied.”
He laughed. "It was a success." *** She smiled and sat up to kiss his cheek. "Good enough for me, I suppose."
She yawned before picking up the box with her bed frame inside. “I’m going to go construct mine. Are you doing the same?” *** “I’ll tell you, you beat the bagels by a little bit.”
