Echoing MikeM's comment, this is the way adults behave. Having so much fun reading this story!!!
“Me neither,” he replied, still not sure this wasn’t all a dream. He had been so amped last night when he left her apartment that he’d zipped off on a whirlwind shopping spree, gathering fresh ingredients and treats from some of his favorite markets and specialty shops around the globe. His bags were packed, and his refrigerator was stocked with food for their trip. All he needed to do was transfer the food to his cooler for the drive.
this is exactly how I behave when Ted and I get ready for a road trip! Gather supplies two days in advance, make everything and than pack the cooler. Of course, I can't fly all over the world, just to our favorite local shops.
“Anytime,” he said. She walked behind him, her hand sliding across his shoulder, and he was glad she couldn’t hear his heartbeat given the way it was racing over that simple touch.
The perfect way to describe a public, yet intimate touch.
Really enjoyed the daily workings of the newsroom. Not every story is front page worthy, sometimes a journalist has to look under several rocks before they can strike gold. In Lois and Clark's case the Sisters City story is just that filler fluff. Thankfully they got out of that meeting unscathed!
Whatever the case, before she could even launch into a full rundown of all the reasons they deserved to leave a couple hours early, he was waving her out of his office with a dismissive, “Get out of here, and take that partner of yours with you. When you get back on Monday I expect to see less mooning and more writing.”
Ah, what a Monday that will be. On to the next part!
And it's time for a road trip!
