Just Trust Me

After a few hours of shopping, exhaustion finally caught up with Harry and Jade. Emerging from a sporting goods store, both loaded down with bags, Jade linked her arm with his.

"Whoa," Harry exclaimed, leaning against a nearby wall, "that was…a lot."

"But it was more satisfying and fun than having someone else shop for you, was it not?" Jade asked with a grin.

"It was only satisfying and fun because I did it with you," Harry he admitted, a grin tugging at the corners of his lips and her smile widened.

"Excellent response!" she declared, clapping her hands with the enthusiasm of a child. "Now, how about a reward? You look like you could use a very expensive meal."

Harry couldn't argue with that. His stomach rumbled in agreement. He did not have breakfast before leaving the house that morning and it was evening already.

"Let's do that then," Harry said and they both took the bags to the car and Harry drove them to Philip's restaurant.
