His arms fall back to his sides. “How did this appointment turn into mine?”
“I’m not the one with gloves on standing over you in a lab coat.”
“No, but the focus has suddenly shifted and I’m being questioned as you’re trying to understand something.”
“I guess I kind of am.”
“And what would that be?”
“You.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know. We’re spending everyday together and still have another week left of me being here. I thought it might be a good idea to know more about the man I’m staying with.”
“That makes sense, but I don’t think details such as my age are important for you to know.”
“You’re one of those people who’s way older than he looks, aren’t you? Don’t tell me you’re sixty and have really good genes.”
He huffs a laugh. “You aren’t very good at the guessing game.”
“It doesn’t count if I was just joking and not being serious.”
“Okay. Tell me something about me, then. What do you think you know about me after spending the last four days together?”
I tap my chin, giving him my best pensive expression. “You like long walks on the beach.”
He rolls his eyes. “It’s supposed to be a serious guess, remember?”
I let out a drawn-out sigh. “Fine. You like reading a lot in bed.”
His lips quirk up. “I do. But that’s an easy one, since you stole my Kindle and it was under my pillow when you did.”
I rack my brain some more. “You like old western movies.”
“Do I really look like that type?” His brows bunch together.
“You like reading sci-fi and fantasy books.”
“Yes, to the fantasy.”
“Finally.” I punch the air. “I got one.”
“Yes. Only one,” he says sheepishly.
“Do you own all theLord of the Ringsmovies?”
He hides his smile behind his hand, eyes no longer meeting mine.
“Oh my god. You totally do.”
His eyes lift to the ceiling and his lips fold into each other as he bites back a smile, nodding. “I totally do.”
“Ohhh we should watch them tonight. Or maybe start with number one since they’re long and—”
“You’re supposed to be on limited screen time?”
“Yeah, that,” I say with a sly grin. “So can we?”
