"Are you a forgiver or a forgetter?"

"Neither." The creases deepen from the edges of his eyes.

Damnit, think of a trickier question. Go on, you can do this!

"What is your idea of beauty?"

"You."

I frown. "Be serious."

"I am being serious."

"So, you want your wife to look like me?’

He rubs his finger under his lip, then shrugs. "Sure, why not."

"You could be more enthusiastic, considering how this is going to change your life."

"Not as much as it’s going to change her life."

I roll my eyes. "Favorite movie?"

"Shark attack."

"You’re joking!" I accuse him.

"Nope, I like sharks."

"That’s because you’re like them."

"Are you talking about my pointed teeth? Or the fact that I like to circle my prey before I move in?"

Is he talking about me? Am I the prey? I push the thought aside and ask my next question, "What book are you reading these days?"

"I’m not, but if I were, it would be Harry Potter."

I swear, hearts appear in my eyes, and I blink them away. "You want to read Harry Potter?"

"Sure, time I found out what all the fuss is about, don’t you think?"

"Personally, I prefer the fanfic."

"Fanfic?" A furrow appears between his eyebrows.

"Yep, especially the one featuring Dramione."

"That’s a character from the story I take it?"

"Actually, it’s the 'ship between two characters, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger."

"Ship?"

"I mean, relationship. The two are at each other’s throats all the time in the Potterverse; that’s the setting of the series."

"I guessed that," he says dryly. "And I take it Draco and Hermione hate each other in the series, but the fans want them to poke each other?" He touches the thumb and forefinger of his left hand and inserts the forefinger of his other hand through the gap created.

"Eww, you’re such a man."
