"What kind of sincerity do you want?" Beauty shot back.

"You can rest easy; I'm not interested in your body. So, what's the real reason you're taking me to Fortune Antiques?"

"The real reason is to buy antiques, what else?"

"To buy antiques? I'm not buying it," Daniel retorted, skeptical.

"Like heck I will! One more joke at my expense and I might just bite you!"

"Where exactly would you bite if there's so much to choose from?"

"Knock it off, you joker! One more word and I’ll tell Jessica everything you’ve said."

"Tell Jessica? You wouldn’t."

"Why not?"

"Because you enjoy it way too much! You love our banter. Why else would you borrow me for a day and then come back for more today? It's clear you like the flirtatious vibe between us."

"Flirt? Not a chance! I borrowed you because it seems like you might actually have some skills," Beauty conceded, before ordering him with a nudge, "Hurry up and drive; stop dawdling!"
