"That's ridiculous," she said, standing up. "That's way too early." * * * "For making you blush? C'mon, Cal. You know that's silly."
She pursed her lips before shaking her head. "I'm going to go take a shower. We'll talk about this another time." * * * "To blush when your boyfriend comments on your sense of humor?"
"Trying to get me to change my sleeping habits," he would hear her grumble. * * * "Oh really?" he teased, kissing her cheek.
"They're my habits!" she called from the bedroom, pulling a tank top from the drawers. "Don't try to change them!" * * * "What if I tell you I love you?"
"You don't like my habits," she said dramatically, crossing the hallway to get to the bathroom." * * * "What if I told you I adore you?"
Val exited the bathroom a few minutes later, a towel wrapped around her body. * * * "Oh. I'm... sorry?"
She smirked before heading into the bedroom with her clothes. * * * "Well, you have to make a decision."
