“Well, there’s your opening, Andy,” Teddy nudged my elbow. “Snap him up before someone else does.”
“Uh…” I said, looking at Kit to silently plead for a rescue.
“I think we ought to get going if we want to catch that train,” he said. “I’d like to be in London by noon so we’ll have at least a few hours of daylight to explore by.”
I grinned at him, grateful for the rescue.
“Thank you for the tea,” I said, setting my cup down on the tray. “Can I take this down to the kitchen for you?”
“I’m not so old that I can’t carry my own tea tray,” Teddy said, smiling wryly as he looked between the two of us. “Enjoy yourselves, and don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”
“Isthere anything you wouldn’t do?” Kit asked, already holding the door for me.
Teddy grinned. “I wouldn’t waste the chance to be young and in love at Christmas.”
