"Yeah of course!"
"Then it won't be too hard for you to redo the next section."
She would not budge tonight.
He huffed a bit as he put down the controller and clicked off the TV, but she hugged him anyway.
"Come back when your teeth are brushed so I can kiss you," she teased in her usual way. Like always, he tried to kiss her then, while she acted disgusted at his breath.
9:12pm. A bit later than she hoped, but they were in bed. She smiled as she shut their door and said goodnight for the fourth and final time.
The screen blipped back to life and glowed brightly on her face as she strapped on her headset.
