He didn’t want to drop his precious load. At the cook site, he paused by Erin. “How long until dinner?”
She smiled and winked. “Oh, thirty minutes or so. Maybe a little longer if you need it.”

“What is?” She leaned back against his arms, smiling up at him.
“Your laughter.” He caressed her soft cheek. “For so long, I thought I’d never hear it. Don’t ever stop laughing, Wiz.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t. I’ve got too much lost time to make up for.” She jumped and wrapped her arms and legs around him, kissing him.
