Good Kisser?

Hal quirked an eyebrow. "Of course I'm...up to it." Why would she think otherwise? He suddenly realized how stiffly he was sitting in his chair and tried to relax. Feeling like an idiot was happening way too regularly lately.

Thankfully they were interrupted by the waiter who took their order. Then alone again, Hal's eyes drifted to the window then traveled back to land on Sam's face. His hands remained cupped around his water glass, absorbing the coolness as he studied her soft brown eyes.

Dropping his gaze, he cleared his throat to fill the silence. His mind was drawing a blank as far as anything to talk about, which was doing little to ease his discomfort.


Hunter had no problem accepting and returning Ryan's kiss. His arm slid around her waist and he just enjoyed the moment as long as he could. 

In the shop, Miles had just opened up one of the bay doors, and his eyes widened as he saw the two in the parking lot. 

"Hey, quit lollygagging," Leo called to him.

Miles just pointed, his jaw hanging open. 

Leo came over to look over his shoulder and his own eyebrows rose. "Whoa."

Miles recovered and glanced back at him. "Is she a good kisser?"

Leo smirked before whacking him upside the head. "Don't you wish you knew."

"Uh...Yeah." Miles abandoned his staring and turned to follow Leo over to the workbench instead. "So is she?"

Leo rolled his eyes. "What do you think?"

Miles gained a silly smile. "Well she's good at everything else."

"Then there's your answer." Leo grabbed a rag and stuffed it in his back pocket. "Where's Axel?"

"Hmm? Oh. Told me yesterday he wouldn't be in."

"Is it his hand?"

"Don't know. Said he had some project and was taking a vacation day."

Outside, Hunter finally pulled back and sighed. His eyes locked with Ryan's as he smiled. "See you tonight."


Dylan looked up at Ashlee and gave her a crooked grin out from under his cowboy hat. "Yeah, everything is fine." He kept his voice quiet. 

"Copper is about ready to have her foal. Sparky's with her. Thought you might wanna come see."
