I decided to keep quiet.
Lee decided he didn’t like that.
He moved me so I was facing him.
I struggled for a bit, then, realizing I wouldn’t win, I ducked my head and pressed it into his chest.
“Look at me, Indy.”
“No,” I said into his chest.
“Look at me.”
“I said no.”
“Why?”
“My face is splotchy.”
His body started shaking with laughter.
“I don’t fucking care if your face is splotchy.” Amusement was heavy in his voice.
I wassosure.
Like it mattered that he didn’t care.Icared.
“Well, I do,” I snapped.
“Look at me.”
“I’m not crying about the box. I’m just pissed we’re not going to get to go to Barolo Grill, and especially pissed that Dawn doesn’t have to make reservations for us,” I lied again. Though Iwaskinda pissed about that, but as Lee said, we had time.
“You’re lying.”
“Am not.”
His arms went around me and he pulled me into him, tight.
I waited.
Nothing happened.
I waited some more.
Still nothing happened.
Then I realized Lee was giving in.
That made me feel warm and happy and, yes, gushy again, and I relaxed into him.
“Marianne called,” I told him for no reason, face still pressed into his chest. “She put an offer on a house and it was accepted. She’s moving out of her parents’ house in a few months.”
Lee’s fingers started drifting up and down my spine but he didn’t answer.
I went on, “Andrea called and she wants us to come over for dinner next Tuesday.”
“Her kids going to be there?”
