“What are you doing?”
I grab my phone from my pocket. “How do you feel about sandwiches?”
“Um, what?”
“Sandwiches, do you like them? Figured that would be easy for dinner.”
“Are we having dinner together?”
“I’m hungry, and I don’t feel like making anything, and you sure as hell are not making anything, so I can either order sandwiches for us both, or you can sit there and watch me eat a sandwich in front of you.”
“What a hard decision,” she says sarcastically. “Whatever will I choose?”
I hand her my phone, and I watch her scroll through the options. “What are your thoughts on tuna?”
“Well, if you really want to keep this friends with no benefits, that’s the way to do it.”
She chuckles, then scrolls some more. “You know what? Just a ham and cheese sounds good.”
“Yeah?” I say. “That’s what I get.”
Her brow raises in curiosity. “Are you just saying that?”
“No, of course not. Did you?”
“Do you really think I believe a ham and cheese sandwich is the way to impress a man?”
I shrug. “Times have changed. I don’t know what the youth are doing these days.”
That makes her chuckle again, and hell, I like the sound. “Are you calling me your youth?”
“Well, you’re younger, right?”
“Not that much younger.”
I finish the order and ask, “How old are you?”
“Thirty.”
I slowly nod my head. “Thirty-five. So . . . not bad.”
“We can share the same likes and dislikes of our childhood.”
“We could.” I drape one arm over the back of the couch and then shift to turn toward her. “What was your favorite show growing up?”
“Muppet Babies,” she says without giving it much of a thought.
My lip curls. “Muppet Babies? Really?”
“Are you judging me?”
“Yes, yes, I am.”
She rolls her eyes. “It was a solid show that made me happy. What did you like? Something lame like . . .Power Rangers?”
“Uh,Power Rangerswas great.”
She shakes her head. “I can’t have this conversation with you because I know that you’re just going to believe that you’re right and I’m wrong.”
