"Uh, yeah, sorry, I, uh, is it warm in here," he murmured and opened the door behind him.

"Nope," she looked around and then back to him, "so, what's the surprise?"

"Not yet, first things first, you hungry?"

"Yeah, I could eat," she replied with that gorgeous little smile on her oh-so-kissable lips.
