“Okay. You go first.”

“My favorite color is blue.”

“Mine is black. Favorite food?”

“Pizza. You?” Rhett answers.

“Hmm. Probably chocolate.”

“Favorite movie?”

“I hate this one because I have too many favorites. Anything horror done well is a top for me.”

“Horror?” Rhett makes a face and tries to quickly play it off, but I see it.

“Yes, you chicken butt.”

“I am not a chicken butt.”

“I remember how you were on Halloween. Mr. jumpy policeman.”

Rhett’s mouth drops open and he lets out a shocked laugh. “I was not jumpy.”

“Okay, fine. When we get to the motel later, we’re renting one.”

Now he blanches. “Uh…”

“What’s wrong?” I ask sweetly.

“Nothing. I’m good. Nothing too gory, alright?”

“Fine, fine. What movies do you like to watch?”

“Anything funny. Sometimes a chick flick here and there.”

I burst into laughter.

“What? They’re cute. And funny. Most of the time.”

“In small doses, maybe. I prefer horror mostly. But I do sneak in a romance sometimes.”

“Aha! See, chick flicks are the best.”

“Not just chick flicks. The ones with a good story, more like a drama. Oh and of course mysteries. I love a good mystery, especially in a book.”

“You like to read?” Rhett asks.

“Yes. Whenever I can fit in the time to, which isn’t often, but I try. Psychological thrillers and mysteries are my favorites.”

“I love learning all this stuff about you.” Rhett smiles at me, and I ignore the tingles lighting off like fireworks inside my bloodstream.

He’s just being nice.

He’s just being nice. Like he always is.

“Do you read?” I ask him.

“Yes, sometimes. Mainly graphic novels, though. I like the visuals from the pictures.”
