She studied him playfully before reaching up and kissing him, her hand cupping his jaw. * * * "Like a log."
She pulled away for a moment, holding his face, his eyes soft. * * * "Are you hungry?" he asked, reaching over and brushing her hair out of her face.
He smiled slightly, giving her a quick small kiss on the cheek. *** She nodded, getting up. "I got it."
"I love you," she told him quietly. "I really love you." * * * "No, I can do it," he complained. "I'm okay."
"I love you too," he said brightly. "You're lovely." *** She offered her hands. "Let's do it together?"
She laughed lightly, her thumb brushing across his cheekbone. "Ten years and you still think that? You must be crazy." * * * He glowered. "No."
She rolled her eyes. "You know how to make a girl feel warm and fuzzy." * ** "What are you gonna do? I'm injured."
She laughed out loud, noticing his expression. "You heard me." * * * "That sounds like you don't know what you have."
She laughed more deeply, watching him affectionately. "Ah. So you're not into that." * * * He joined her, his arm wrapping around her side.
