Lauren giggled softly. "If you are, then at least let's go inside. I'm not doing anything out here."

Francesca pouted. "Obviously! That look in your eyes just now was like you were ready to pounce!"

Lauren bit her lip, blushing. "Honey, your appetite lately seems a little intense. Are we not doing a good enough job taking care of you?"
