We can make it until the end

Harry nodded his head, "You should know that by now, and yet you always still ask me for hints. If you like after we finish eating than we can head to your place, your surprise is waiting for you there" He smiled as he had a spare key to her place which came in hardy when he wanted to surprise her, even though the surprise was small enough for him carry on him he decided it would just be easier for him to set it on the table Lottie had beside her bed. He knew she was going to scold him for the surprise but he still couldn't wait for her to see what it was, "Of course I do" He leaned across the table wrapping his lips around her fork and taking the pasta into his mouth, the food set off his taste buds and if he wasn't careful than his fangs would elongate down from his gums so he needed to keep himself care. "Wow that is delicious, want to try mine?" He offered not wanting to keep his steak with was marinaded with so many different flavors, though it all worked amazingly well together.

Freya gave a small nod with her head, "I will give it another go, thanks for listening to me. I've talked so much about myself, that I feel rude for not asking you questions about yourself" She glanced down at their hands and although she didn't want to pull her hand back, she did so she wouldn't come across as weird or clingy. "Were you born here?" She asked knowing he either had by his accent or he had lived in England for most of his life, "Tell me about yourself" She smiled widely wanting to listen to his accented deep voice, she sipped her hot chocolate again feeling the warmth linger in her throat as her eyes were only focused on the handsome young man sitting across from her. She was so grateful that she had walked through that park at that time, otherwise she may have never met Liam and now she couldn't imagine not having him around her.

Lottie smiled. "I guess I'll just never learn." She said, giving her shoulders a slight shrug. "Seeing as you won't tell me what it is, that would be great. If I have to wait too long, the anticipation might kill me!" She was joking. Obviously. It wouldn't really kill her, but she did get pretty anxious just like anticipating whatever it was that he had for her. She was just really impatient sometimes. "Seeing as I let you taste mine, I think it's only fair." They did this all the time, sharing food like this. It all started when she'd been extremely indecisive on one of their first dates. He'd suggested that they get a couple of different things and share, and they'd kind of been doing this ever since.

---

Liam shook his head. "There's no need for you to apologize, love." He assured her, a kind smile on his face. He really didn't mind listening to her. In fact, as cheesy as it probably sounded, he could listen to her talk all day. She was just so animated...so human. Just sitting there with her made him feel the most human, the most alive, that he'd felt in a very long time. "I was born in Wolverhampton. I've lived here in London for a while now. I have a couple of mates who I share a flat with. They're like brothers to me." He left out the part where he'd been born over a century ago, and that he'd been in London for much longer than she probably assumed.

Harry knew that even if Lottie did know he never liked to tell her about his surprises, she was never going to stop asking him about them or for him to give her some hints. It was just how she was and he did love her even more for it, he had tried dating humans many years ago once he got control of his thirst but he seemed to only find girls who did everything he asked. If he told them he had a surprise but he wouldn't tell them anything else, they'd just leave it at that but Lottie was different and he needed that. He cut some of his steak and moved the fork closer to her so she could taste, he placed his other hand under her chin in case any of the marinade dripped. He also wanted to brush his fingers over her cheek once she had taken the piece of steak into her mouth.

---

Freya looked at Liam as he spoke and she wanted to remember his deep soothing voice for the rest of her life, even if that did seem creepy. "That sounds wonderful, I've read about Wolverhampton and it sounds amazing, I hope that one day soon I'll get to go exploring" She smiled at him as she was more than just excited about the thought of driving around little villages and towns, it was the first thing she had wanted to do when she moved to London with her parents. Although her dad said that she needed to continue on with her training before she did anything else, she had to admit she was getting much better at fighting and protecting herself. She has only taken on one vampire so far and that was before the big move to London.

Lottie leaned over the table a bit before taking the piece of steak from the fork. She chewed slowly, smiling at his hand that was underneath her chin. It was strange how some of the smallest actions caused the biggest reactions. She always felt butterflies in her stomach whenever Harry was around and her heart would race. He just made her feel so...elated and happy whenever they were together. He made her the happiest that she had been in a very long time. Not to say that she wasn't a happy person, because that wasn't the case at all, but like anybody else, she had her ups and her downs. And now, with Harry there, even when she was at her lowest, she felt happier than she'd been at her happiest before she'd met him. "That's delicious." She said once she'd finished chewing.

---

"You should go there if you ever get the chance to. It's a lovely place, and I'm not just saying that because I grew up there either." Liam said with a slight chuckle. Truth be told, he couldn't remember the last time he'd gone back to his place of birth. Decades had probably passed since he last visited. Time seemed to pass differently when you had all the time in the world. Each moment wasn't nearly as precious as had been when he was human. Of course, he'd experienced a lot more than he ever would have gotten the chance to do if he had remained human, but that was besides the point. Sometimes, he wished he could go back. He wished that he could be human again, and for the first time in a long time, he had nearly forgotten that he wasn't. Freya almost seemed to bring out the best in him. It was quite strange actually.

Harry smiled slowly leaning back into his chair as his emerald eyes watched Lottie's face as she chewed, "Right? I swear this place has the best food around London" He knew for a fact that France and Italy had some of the most amazing food, although he couldn't tell her that just yet as he had told her that he hasn't been outside of England. He hated lying to the girl he loved with his heart and soul, he just hadn't been ready to tell her the biggest secret he had. He had a feeling once he did tell her, she'd most likely leave him so she could get her head around it but she'd come back to him because her love for him was stronger than anything. At least that's what he was hoping who happen, he couldn't continue to live if Lottie wasn't in his life. She made him feel human again and he needed that, he wanted to feel emotions and enjoy his life that he's made for himself with her.

---

Freya smiled at him, "It's already on the list of places I want to go see" She knew her dad would have to give her a small break shortly, all she seems to be doing is training and learning about how to kill a vampire with all the different weapons. "Have you traveled much? I would love to travel around the world, my dad travels a lot for work but I always have to stay home with my mom" She knew she shouldn't complain as once she started hunting more, than he'd be traveling so much more as hunters went wherever there were vampires. It wouldn't hurt to go sight seeing when she's on a job, she wants to live her life to the fullest and if she carried on the family business than she'd make time for herself. She still wanted the husband and kids when she was older, she wasn't going to be a hunter for the rest of her life like her family has because she wants more out of life than just being a hunter.

"I couldn't agree with you more." Lottie said honestly before eating another forkful of her pasta. Not only was the food amazing at this restaurant, but the prices were fairly decent and the portion-sizes were huge! They always went home with leftovers. Well, Lottie did anyway. Harry always insisted that she bring the rest of her food and his back to her flat. And she never really questioned it either. It just wasn't something that crossed her mind as being strange. It didn't take her very long to get full. "I'm stuffed." She said, pushing her bowl away from her. And she wasn't just saying that because she was anxiously waiting to get back to her flat and figure out what he'd gotten her as a surprise. Although, it was still on her mind.

---

Liam shook his head. "No, not really. There was the occasional family vacation, but that was years ago, and we never really went far. Usually came here to London for the weekend and that was about it." He gave his shoulders a slight shrug. Of course, he'd actually seen more than London and Wolverhampton. He'd seen a majority of the world. More than most people could say that they had, and that was all thanks to his abnormally long life. Although he disliked what he was, he had to admit that it did have a few perks. Although he didn't enjoy the immortality, he enjoyed the experiences that he had because of it. "Where would you like to go?" He asked her, curious to hear where she wanted to travel to. He was simply curious about her in general though, but that was besides the point.

Harry's life couldn't be any better than what it was right now, well it could if Lottie was a vampire so they could be immortal together but he would never even think about turning her into the monster that he was. He had hurt many people in his abnormally long life especially when he was first turned, he had no control whats so ever and he wouldn't be surprised if some of the people he drank from in the early years of his vampire life hadn't survived. He left most people barely breathing and than never looked back at them once he had nearly drained their bodies of blood, but he wasn't like that anymore and he'd never let himself be like that again. He smiled at her as she pushed her plate away from her knowing he should take another bite which he did, before also pushing his plate away from him. "I think I ate too much" He breathed out raising his hand slightly and watched as the waitress walked over to them, "I'd like the bill and could our leftovers be put into a container, please" He watched the woman nod before taking their plates back into the kitchen, it wasn't long until she came back with two clear plastic containers and the bills. Harry placed money in the little black book where the bill was making sure to leave a tip, "Shall we go see the surprise now?" He asked knowing that it would still be on Lottie's mind.

---

Freya's face yet again lit up with a wide smile as she looked at Liam, "There are so many places I'd love to go see. The rest of Europe but mainly France and Ireland, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. But all that travel means I need to have money and a lot of it, which is why I'm still here" She smiled knowing one day it will be the right time for her to go traveling the world, maybe once her dad realizes that she either doesn't want to be a hunter or that she can hunt well enough to work by herself. She raising her hot chocolate to her lips taking a long drink hoping it would warm her up from the inside out, she had heard that London could get cold but she wasn't quite ready for the season change when she moved here although it didn't bother her all too much.

Lottie's face lit up at the mention of her surprise. She couldn't quite contain her excitement, nor did she bother to do so, and she nodded vigorously. Her eyes were shining like a little kid's would in a candy shop. "I think you already know the answer to that question." She said, grinning widely. She couldn't help that she was anxious. She always looked forward to his surprises. Even though she normally hated surprises, and she still did, she quite enjoyed the ones that Harry had for her. And she was sure that this one wouldn't be any different than the others. He always seemed to know exactly what to get her. She sometimes felt like he knew her better than she knew herself. And she didn't think that she would ever have it, or want it, any other way.

---

"I've heard good things about all of those places." Liam told her. "Just spend your money sparingly. That's what my mum always told me to do." Back when he was human, money had been very tight. The value of it was different back then as well, though he couldn't really talk about that with Freya. After all, she thought that he was as human as she was, when in actuality, he was the farthest from it. But, for some odd reason, she made him feel human. She made him feel like a better person, and for a while, he was able to forget who he really was. He was able to forget that most people saw his kind as monsters. They didn't realize that some of them were just as humane as they were. It was the ones who turned their humanity switch off and became rippers who were the monsters. He was glad that he had never done that and he never wanted to be that. Ever.

Harry smiled widely seeing Lottie's beautiful face light up which only made her even more gorgeous, standing up from his chair and taking the left-over containers into his hand. "Let's get going than love" He wrapped his arms around her small waist guiding her out of the restaurant and over to where he had parked his car, unlocking his car and opening the passenger side door for the love of his life. Handing her the containers before he shut the door for her, rushing over to the driver's side of his car he climbed in beside her. Turning his car on he pulled out of the parking spot and drove along the street towards Lottie's flat, it didn't take them all that long and Harry kept the drive silent so it would add to the surprise. Parking his car on the street he climbed out and locked his car, his arm was instantly around her waist as they walked together towards her flat where Lottie unlocked the front door. "Go have a look on your bedside table" He smiled as there was a box there with a beautiful bracelet and under the box was a brochure and voucher for a day spa.

---

Freya smiled already knowing that she'd spend her money sparingly because she already did that, "Trust me, I will" She finished off the last mouthful of her hot chocolate and suddenly felt confidence build in her chest, "Did you want to go for a walk or something with me?" She asked him knowing he'd most likely agree with her but there was still a slight bit of doubt in her mind that he'd say no and regret her, reaching up she brushed some of her red hair away from her face. Running her tongue over her lips to make sure there wasn't any left over hot chocolate on her lips, she wasn't sure what else they'd do if they went for a walk but she just wanted to spend more time with Liam.

Lottie smiled, letting out a soft giggle when she felt his arms go around her waist. She allowed him to lead her out of the restaurant and to his car, uttering a quiet 'thank you' when he opened the passenger side door for her. She climbed in and took the takeaway containers from him, resting them on her lap as she looked out the window. To say that she was anxious to get back to her flat would be an understatement. She was as bad as a little kid when it came to surprises. Harry just seemed to know her so well. All of his surprises had been unexpected and perfect in every single way possible. "Okay." She grinned at him before heading down the hall to her bedroom. Walking inside, she went over to her bedside table and picked up the small box. A soft gasp escaped her lips when she opened it and saw the gorgeous piece of jewelry inside. She picked up the brochure and voucher beneath it and smiled, thinking how lucky she was to have such a sweet and loving boyfriend. She took the bracelet out of the box and quickly put it on her wrist before heading back to Harry, wrapping her arms around him instantly. She pressed her lips to his softly soon after. "Thank you." She murmured against his lips.

---

Liam had hoped to spend some more time with her. So, when she suggested going for a walk, it was honestly an offer that he couldn't quite refuse. He just really wanted to get to know her better and see if what he was already feeling for her meant that she was his mate. He'd seen how the others acted around theirs, so he'd somewhat known what to expect, but now he wasn't totally sure, because, well, he'd never felt like this about anyone before. It was overwhelmingly amazing and nearly indescribable. "I would love to." He said, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his lips. He glanced down soon after, realizing that his shirt was still in her dryer. He'd nearly forgotten the whole smoothie incident up until this point. And that was rather surprising seeing as it was his reason for being inside her flat in the first place. "Though I think I might need my shirt before we go anywhere." He added soon after with a soft chuckle.

Harry stood there waiting for Lottie to find his surprise, a wide smile spread across his face watching as she walked back over to him. He wrapped his arms instantly around her waist holding her tightly to his body, returning her kiss and smiling against her lips when he saw the silver bracelet already around her wrist. "You're welcome love, do you like the surprise? You can use the voucher after your finals, I know how stressed you'll become with studying. I also love you to the moon and back" He whispered the last sentence to her before pressing his lips back to her's, he couldn't help himself and deepened their kiss with passion. At first kissing and hugging Lottie was hard on his control, but now he was used to the smell of her blood and although her blood made his mouth water with how delicious it smelled he knew he'd never hurt her. He'd hate himself if he hurt her in anyway, her blood had the usual metallic scent but it was also sweet like honey and peaches.

---

A blush formed on Freya's face when she realised that Liam was still shirtless, here was a sweet and caring handsome man who was also shirtless. "Oh right, of course" She murmured quietly standing up from her chair and rushing across her apartment, pulling the closet door open to reveal her washer and dryer. Pulling the door of the dryer open she reached inside and pulled his shirt out, "I'm sorry, I completely forgot even though I'm not sure how" She said glancing at his bare chest once again, the way his abs stood out and the 'happy trail' of hair from his belly button downwards was more than attractive on him. She never was one who cared about what a guy's body was like but with Liam it was different, she actually liked how his body looked because it suited him perfectly and she wouldn't complain if she was able to see it more often.

Lottie smiled, her heart skipping a beat at his words, and a frenzy of butterflies forming in her stomach. "Of course I like my surprise. I love it!" She said, nearly getting cut off when his lips were suddenly on hers once more. She smiled into the kiss, kissing him back with just as much love and passion. She was pretty sure that she would never get over how amazing and mind-blowing it was to kiss Harry. It was like, as cliche as it sounded, fireworks went off in her head whenever their lips met. She pressed her body closer to his, her fingers tangling into his chocolate curls as a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

---

Liam couldn't help chuckling when he noticed the light tinge of pink that appeared on her cheeks. He honestly thought it was cute. Everything about her was rather adorable. Her smile, her sweet voice, her mannerisms, just...everything. He liked it though. A lot. Just like he liked her. A lot. She had this air of innocence about her at times, and he thought that, maybe, that was what had drawn him in. "No need to apologize." He assured her, his dark eyes locking with hers for a moment. He noticed her staring, but he wasn't the type of person to be overly cocky and point those things out. He wasn't out to purposely embarrass people in any way, shape or form.

Harry felt relived once Lottie told him that he loved her surprise, he had put in many hours thinking about what he should get for her. Especially with her finals coming up shortly, he knew she'd be studying like crazy for them even though she didn't need to because she was smart enough. He still found it hard to buy things for her, when he was human it was much easier as many people didn't have the extra money to spend on gifts so no one ever really brought gifts. Unless it was animals like a cow or sheep, but he highly doubted Lottie would love to have either of them. He lifted her up into his arms with ease and carried her over to the couch, his lips not breaking from her's as he sat on the couch causing Lottie to straddle his lap and sit there. He began pressing light kisses along her strong jaw line and behind her ear, before trailing down the soft delicate skin of her neck.

---

Freya cleared his throat as she never had been good at this, talking to guys mainly the ones who she found attractive although she was comfortable with Liam. She still sometimes couldn't think of anything to say to him, even if she wanted to talk to him and get to know him. "Right, I'll just grab my coat and we can go for that walk. Are you going to be warm enough?" She asked already knowing how England weather liked to changed suddenly, she opened a closet in the short hallway pulling out a thick black coat that would keep her warm on the coldest days in London. She couldn't stop herself from watching Liam as he pulled his shirt back on, the way his muscles flexed with the simple movements made her want to just grab his face and kiss those inviting lips of his.

Lottie had only been in a couple of other relationships before Harry. And, even then, very few of those relationships had been serious ones. Many of them hadn't been long-term ones, only last a couple of weeks to three or four months, and for a while she'd wondered if maybe she wasn't the relationship type. It wasn't so much that she didn't see herself settling down and getting married, having a couple of kids, in the future, but with the lack of success in a couple of her previous relationships, she'd kind of wondered if there was something wrong with her. Until she met Harry. It probably sounded absolutely mental, and a bit cliche, but she'd known that there was something different with him the moment they locked eyes at that little coffee shop. It was so hard to explain, but she'd kind of just known. There was a spark there. Something that had kind of just been missing with all of her previous relationships. Her lips moved slowly, yet passionately against his as he lifted her up and carried her over to the couch. She smiled, keeping her fingers tangled into his curls still as he took a seat, causing her to straddle him. Her heart was pounding and her eyes drifted closed as she felt him pressing light, feathery kisses along her jaw and behind her ears. She couldn't help the soft giggle that escaped her lips.

---

Liam could kind of tell that this wasn't something she did quite frequently. It was just this feeling that he had. Not that he needed to be a rocket scientist to realize that she was slightly flustered from talking to him, and maybe it had a little bit to do with his quite obviously shirtless torso, but that was open for interpretation he supposed. He pulled his shirt on over his head, before looking back to her. "Yeah, I'll be fine. It's not that cold." He gave his shoulders a slight shrug. He wasn't really worried about being cold. He knew that the England weather could be rather unpredictable at times. One minute it could be slightly overcast with the sun peeking out from behind the clouds and the next there could be a major downpour. It sucked sometimes, especially if you weren't used to the weather and didn't know about it's unpredictability, but he was used to it. And it wasn't too cold yet. Not to him anyway.

Harry pulled back from kissing her silky soft skin when her adorable giggle hit his ears, he had heard many girls giggle but it always sounded fake and put on to him. Like they were trying so hard to impress a guy or laugh at his joke, it made him want to pound his head against a brick wall. Girls were so busy throwing themselves at guys, that they often miss the perfect chance to be with someone who isn't going to dump them in a few weeks time when something better came along. Then there was Lottie who had been the complete opposite and then there was her giggle, her giggle was right and light and was music to his ears. "I'm trying to have a sweet, romantic moment here with you and all you can do is giggle" He pouted out his bottom lip playfully at his gorgeous girlfriend who he could stare at all day long if she let him, although her beauty and her mannerisms were all engraved in his mind he just loved looking at her.

---

Freya nodded her head lightly as her fingers buttoned her coat then she placed the strap of her handbag over her shoulder, picking up her keys from the little bowl that was sitting on the table near the front door. She pulled the door open letting Liam walked through first, "Does your family live here or in Wolverhampton?" She asked him as she shut the door and locked it after herself, she walked through the hallway beside him as they headed towards the elevator. She pressed the button to take them down to the first level, it never was a long wait for the elevator so within a few short moments the thick metal doors were opening and Freya stepped inside with Liam where she then pressed the first floor button.

Lottie bit down on her lower lip lightly, trying to suppress the laughter that threatened to escape her lips. She couldn't quite help herself though when she looked down at her handsome boyfriend and saw that ridiculous pout on his face. And the suppression of her laughter only lasted so long before soft giggles bubbled from her lips. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm not laughing at you. I promise." She said truthfully before pressing a sweet kiss to his still pouty lips. "I love you so bloody much." She murmured against his lips. She'd always dreamt of loving someone the way she loved Harry, and having him love her the way she loved him, but it had always seemed like that: a dream. Just out of her reach. She would tell herself that she would find her man eventually, but there had been times when she had her doubts. Until she met Harry.

---

Liam followed her over to the door, stepping out of her flat and waiting for her out in the hallway. "Wolverhampton." He said. That technically wasn't a lie. His family hadn't ever left Wolverhampton before. They'd always lived there and, well, they had lived there a couple of centuries ago. He was trying to spare her all of the petty details though. He couldn't quite tell her the truth, could he? She would probably think he was completely mental if he told her he was a vampire. And he'd only known her a day anyway. That wasn't something you just came out and told someone that you'd met less than twenty-four hours before. "Where'd you live before you moved here?" He asked her curiously as he motioned for her to step out of the elevator first.

Harry pretended to be upset with her even if he wasn't, he wanted to always hear her sweet little giggles and laughter. It meant that he was making her happy and all he wanted was for her to be happy, "You are laughing at me" It were times like this when he could act just as childish as Lottie had been at the restaurant when he refused to give her hints on her surprise, a wide smile formed on his lips as he instantly kissed Lottie's full soft warm lips in return. His hands rested comfortably on her hips which he gave a gentle squeeze to, "I love you so much more, nothing will ever change that" He murmured against her lips keeping his eyes closed and just enjoying the warmth that was surrounding him from Lottie's body being so close to him, he knew how lucky he was to have found his mate which is the reason why he treated her like a princess also because she deserved it.

---

Freya stepped out of the elevator first then walked across to the front door of the complex, "Well I was born in Australia but I've lived most of my life in America, my family and I have traveled all over the country" She told him which is why her own accent was mostly Australian with a hint of American in there, "I used to hate moving around so much when I was younger. I would make friends at school and than have to leave them, so in the end I just stopped making friends so I wouldn't get hurt the next time we moved. Now I think differently, I saw more of the country than other kids" She admitted to him as they started walking down the street, just letting their feet carry them along.

Lottie knew that he wasn't actually upset with her. She'd never really seen Harry upset or angry. They'd gotten into a few arguments here and there about her safety, amongst other things, but it had never been anything serious. And thus, they had never had any full-blown arguments that resulted in screaming matches and slamming doors. "I am not." She argued, her words muffled by his lips which were still against hers. She smiled into the kiss, pulling back only when she needed to. And when she did, she rested her forehead against his, her hazel eyes locking with his emerald ones. "And what makes you so sure of that?" She whispered breathlessly.

---

"I thought I detected a slight American accent from you." Liam said, chuckling softly. He'd realized that she wasn't from around here rather quickly and easily. It didn't take a rocket scientist to realize that her accent wasn't a British one, and he'd noted that it was Australian, but it was nothing like any Australian accent he had ever heard before. And now he knew why. She'd lived across the pond for a while in the states. "Where in America?" He asked curiously as he followed her out of the building and out onto the street. "There are always pros and cons to everything." He added, knowing how she felt. Of course, his situation was a bit different than constantly moving around, but he did see what she meant.

Harry smiled resting his forehead against her's, "Because we're perfect for each other and I love you more than anything, I'm not going to be letting you go so now you're stuck with me" He smiled gazing into her stunning hazel eyes, which was a perfect mix of brown and green. He would never grow tired of looking into her eyes, he brushed his fingertips along her side as he raised his hand up and ran his fingers through her long brunette hair which was incredibly soft which is why he always twirled her hair around his finger and he also loved burying his face into her hair loving the smell of her shampoo.

---

Freya smiled at him as they walked along the street together, she was proud of where she had come from. Both Australia and America because both countries were home to her, "I lived in mainly New York, Seattle and Portland. Seeing as I haven't been here long and I can get lost easily, maybe you could show me around?" She asked him biting down onto her bottom lip, she hoped it didn't seem like she was coming across too strongly as she didn't want to scare him away or make him think that she's be this clingy girlfriend if they ever did want to become a couple.

(Sorry it's so short)

"You make it sound like being with you is such a terrible thing when it's actually quite the opposite." Lottie murmured softly. She knew that everything that he said was true. They really were perfect for each other. She could just feel it in her bones. That spark they shared was nothing that she had ever felt before in her previous relationships. "And, for the record, I wouldn't have it any other way." A small smile graced her lips as she looked down at him.

---

Liam could tell that she had this sense of pride about her when it came to where she was from. And that was a good thing. That wasn't something that she should be ashamed about. It was something that she should embrace wholeheartedly. "That's really cool." He told her honestly. "I've always wanted to go to New York" he added, wanting to keep up the front that he really hadn't done any sort of traveling at all. In actuality, he had pretty much been all over the world. Another perk of having an endless amount of time on your hands. "I'm not so sure I'll be the best tour guide, but I could give it a go if you really want me to." He chuckled softly. He was kind of glad that she had asked him to show her around. It gave him more time to talk to, and get to know, her.

(It's cool...mine is probably on the short side too...I'm on my phone)
