She nods. “We’ll make a good team. I’d like that.”
My heart feels like it’s about to explode, but I don’t want to come across too eager – I don’t want to give away too much of my real feelings, so instead I give her hand a little squeeze and then open my laptop again. “Well, now that’s out of the way, I really need to get some work done.”

I hold my hands up and say, “Don’t judge.”

He chuckles and watches the screen for a moment. It’s a dramatic elimination – everyone is wearing tiny bathing suits. He pulls his eyes away and says, “I liked the baking show better.”

“Sure.”
He picks up the remote and presses pause.
