"That's two things, and they're both from being provoked by you." * * * He cradled Nugget and the dog panted, staring up at the two of them lovingly. "Little fur baby."
“Yes. You’re hesitating because you don’t know how to act, but it’s the truth.” *** “Not this again.”
She clamped a hand over his mouth, shaking her head. "Stop it." * * * "Please don't. People will think that I'm being unkind."
There was silence before he licked her hand. *** "You are," she teasingly, kissing his cheek. "But I won't."
She shrieked and backed away from him, sticking her hand under the sink. "Ew! Ew ew ew!" * * * He gave a huge sigh of relief. "Much obliged."
"That's disgusting, Landon!" * * * He flushed, but gave her a playful smile. "Even when I make fun of you?"
"I licked you because you covered my mouth. Besides, it'd be pretty easy to love someone like that." *** "The one that everyone is always jealous about?"
"Oh really? What if I just started licking you? Like a cat?" * * * "...right. That's what I was thinking."
