"I'm sorry. Looking at you simply robs me of any intellectual flattery I could articulate."

"Stop it." She lightly slapped his chest, pursing her lips to suppress a laugh. "Goodness. Penny is going to pick me up in a few minutes."

"But I'll miss you." He clasped his hands behind her back. "Let's just stay here."
