She smirked. “Just peachy. I’ve got my eye on you two.” With that, she slid inside her Toyota Camry.
Leah covered her mouth to stifle her laugh. “We keep getting caught.”

“That sounds nice,” he said.
“I like it too.” He reached for her hand and clasped their fingers over the console. “So as your boyfriend, it’s my job to—”
“Boyfriend?” She grinned from ear to ear.
“You bet I am.”
“No objection to that. Please continue.”
He laced their clasped fingers together. “I already know you love classic films and chocolate muffins. If I had to guess, you’re favorite color is… green?”

“Favorite place in town?” he asked.
“The fountain, hands down,” she replied.
“Why?”
“It’s a place that makes me happy.”
He wanted to be a part of making her happy. How the words rested on the tip of his tongue.

“Not you, Ms. Sweet Tooth.”
She tilted her head toward him. “Try helping your mother bake half of twenty-four dozen sugar cookies.”
“Wow.”
“Exactly. Thankfully, my mother has a system, but that’s a lot of work.”
