Taylor blushes, looking down at her shoes, “Oh, you don’t have to thank me, Ryan,” she says, but she doesn’t pull her hand away. She probably should, but he's glad she doesn't.
He shakes his head at her, and finds himself smiling, “What if I want to?” he asks, leaning as close as he dares.
Taylor looks up at him through her eyelashes again. She has really pretty eyes he notes. She bites her lip, “Then I guess I can’t stop you, can I?”
