“You think I have the skills to build a greenhouse?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Oh, no. Of course not. You’d probably maim yourself if you tried to hold a hammer. No, I mean you should pay someone to build me a greenhouse. That way it would be done properly.”
He sighed. “I know you’re right. But I did like it when I thought you thought I could do it!”
She laughed softly. “You get the greenhouse built, and I’ll make sure you know how to garden in it. Isn’t that a great compromise?”
“I suppose so. Though, I worry I don’t have the green thumb you do.”
“That’s all right. At least it won’t be black and blue as it would be if you tried to build it yourself.”
He nudged her with his shoulder. “You could be nicer to me.”
“I could. But where’s the fun in that?” she asked, winking at him.
“Maybe for tonight, we should just watch the rain.”
As she sat beside him, feeling positively electrified by the storm around them, she knew she was right where she wanted to be.
