“Oh, come on,” she pleaded, turning more to catch a glimpse of that smirk. She loved that expression; it lit his eyes and turned him from a solemn fighter into a mischievous knave. “We’ve left everyone else behind already. Tell me!”
“But wouldn’t it be far better for me to let you wait for your surprise, for you to anticipate and ponder over all of the possibilities?” he murmured lowly, his smirk only widening as he turned, one hand curling around her hip as the other tightened on Button’s reins.
She pouted, just a little. “But I’m so curious! I might expire of curiosity if I have to keep waiting. Just a hint, then, please?” Just as soon as they stopped, she decided, she was going to kiss him until he couldn’t breathe. That expression was simply unfair.
