His lips twitched higher at the corners. “Well, maybe if you ate more vegetables then you wouldn’t have gotten so sleepy in the middle of the day.”

“I didn’t see your plate overflowing with vegetables,” I countered with a quirked brow, daring him to deny it.

Victor:

What are you doing today?

Saffron:

Nothing much

I’m on a walk in Hyde Park right now

Victor:

That doesn’t sound like you

Anyway, Horatio and I have two tickets to the West End tonight that we can't make it to any more

Do you want them?

Saffron:

Yes, please!

That sounds great

It’s not a big deal

We can go another time

Saffron:

I'm sorry to hear that, but I've just snagged myself two free tickets to the West End, so I can't complain

Victor:

Neither can your secret boyfriend, I bet

Saffron:
