But Felix gently pushed her away, picked up a bottle of water from the ground, and offered it to her lips.

"Drink up."

Carol found the notion amusing, her lips curling into a smile as she looked up at him.

"Hey, for real, you don't have a girlfriend, do you?"

"How many jobs you working? Where at? I'll swing by when I'm free, maybe bring you a burger or something."
