"It's no problem, I can wait." He said and shrugged.

"I know you can but it is almost time for my bath." She mumbled.

"So," he said and lifted his body. He scooted closer to her. "It wouldn't be the first time."

She bent her head down. "I don't recall," she lied.

"I do," he replied and laid back on the bed. "That settles it."

"No, it doesn't." She yelled and stomped her foot on the bed.
