“A dapper gentleman.” *** She frowned before leaning forward to kiss him. “I’m not leaving you, Landon. I like you too much.”
"He will be the most noble of beasts." * * * She gave him a small kiss before slipping off his lap. "Don't worry. I'm going to go shower."
"There is nothing kingly about me." * * * "Nothing," she said casually. "Just seems like a huge waste of water."

He covered Nugget's ears. "Shh! He's going to kill me!" * * * She laughed at his reaction before standing up and heading to the bathroom, holding her hands behind her back.
Nugget looked up at them, his tail wagging. * * * She looked back at him as if he were a pleasant surprise. "Yes?"
"He loves you, apparently." * * * She raised an eyebrow. "Should you, now? You're suddenly very environmentally conscious?"
"I feel... insulted." * * * She gave him a genuine smile before taking his hand and pulling him into the bathroom.
