"This problem," he said, his voice laced with mock seriousness, "can only be solved one way."

Annoyed by his teasing but unwilling to give him the satisfaction of arguing further, Aurora flopped onto her stomach. "Fine. Just tie it back," she huffed, her irritation barely masking the small grin tugging at her lips.
