He flushed, raising an eyebrow.

"Cause I stuff dogs in my shirt?"

 

"You do? No one like licorice."

"I just like dogs..."

 

"No. The other kind."

"I like you too."

 

"Yeah."

* * *

"I love you too."

 

She swatted his arm.

"Don't be rude."

"Me too, Cal. More than anything."

 

"You're lying. That's rude too."

* * *

"Come on, baby girl. We have stars to see."

 

"Say, 'oh. That's not my kinda thing, but that's okay.'"

"I couldn't have said it better myself."

* * *

There was indeed a ladder.
