Devon nodded slightly, his eyes sparkling with amusement at her excitement "Yes, I want you to come with me. Do you want to..."

Leticia's response was immediate, her voice filled with excitement. "Yes! I do!" She squealed, her arms wrapping around him tightly. It had been so long since she'd seen the outside world, and she was thrilled at his offer.

Devon patted her hair as she murmured a grateful "Thank you." He hummed and swept her up in his arms, carrying her towards the bed. Leticia beamed with delight although urprised by his action. She looked up at him, her arms around his neck, and asked, "What are you doing, Devon?"

He replied, his voice low and teasing, "Taking you to bed."

"I can walk, you know."Leticia rolled her eyes, still smiling.
