Siya: “Tess, babe I got it. Remember what happened last time on the boat?”
Tess: “You worry too much! let me help you out! I feel like I’m not doing much here anyway… and besides! It’s not like the living room is as rocky as that river… Now, which book did you want darlin’?” she chuckles happily and climbs up the ladder slowly.
Siya twiddles her fingers from nervousness and sighs
Siya: “It wasn’t the waves that made you go overboard in the first place…erhm, you know what Just grab the first edition. I need to see the translation again. Be careful.”
Tess winks and smirks
Tess: “Always”
Siya smirks back
Siya: “That’s my girl.”
