He let out a light chuckle. "I meant recreationally, but that works too."

“Well, it’s not like I can do much,” Devon said with a shrug. “What about you?”

"I'd…." Sebastian trailed off. "I'm not actually sure."

Devon shrugged. “So, it’s not so bad that I choose cleaning,” she chuckled. “Okay, if you had unlimited funds to build a house that you would live in for the rest of your life, what would the finished house be like?”

Sebastian blinked at the question, finding the words 'unlimited funds' and 'live in a house' to be unfamiliar and difficult to comprehend. "Uh.. that's hard to imagine. But I guess it would be small, not too big, since I'm only one person. A nice backyard, maybe suitable for a dog. Simple stuff, really. Sort of.. cottagey. Anything homey. In other words, the opposite of where I grew up." He hadn't registered the words before they'd flown out of his mouth. Crap. "I- I wasn't supposed to say that."

Devon’s gaze softened at his words. “It’s okay, Sebastian. If you need to talk about anything, just know that I’m here, okay?”

Sebastian nodded awkwardly, swallowing as his eyes darted away. "What about you? For the house, I mean?"

“Me? Oh… Uh. Maybe medium-sized, with at least two bathrooms. A few bedrooms, a nice garden in the back. A pretty big backyard for Layla and any other kids I may have. Like three bedrooms, at least,” Devon said, looking away thoughtfully. “Yeah… I think that’s it.”

Sebastian nodded, grinning. "Sounds like a pretty sweet deal."

“So, it’s your turn now,” Devon chuckled. “Now that we’ve gotten that question out of the way.”

"Hm… What age do you wish you could permanently be?" he asked with a tilt of his head.

Devon sighed and chewed on her lip. “Gosh, I dunno… 21, I guess. Young forever,” she chuckled.

Sebastian snorted– even he knew the name of the popular store. "I can tell where you enjoy shopping, judging by that statement."

“Oh, I didn’t even think about that,” she admitted with a light laugh.

"Wow, I caught a reference that wasn't meant to be made? That's a first," he joked, running a hand through his hair in an attempt to tame it.

Devon chuckled as she smiled over at him. "Okay, what about you, then? How old would you want to be?"

"Around 20, I guess. Haven't given it much thought." He shrugged, picking up a menu.

Devon had barely glances at the menu, put she picked it back up when she saw Sebastian looking it over.

"Okay, my turn… What was your favorite book or series that you've ever read?" she asked, glancing up from her menu quickly.

"I………… have a limited experience." Sebastian scanned the menu briefly. "I don't really know. I guess.. the Sherlock Holmes books?"

"You read Sherlock Holmes? Really?" Devon questioned curiously, her full attention now on him. "I used to read the Nancy Drew books."

"Yeah. Other than that, I didn't read much. Wasn't allowed." His brows drew together. "What's 'Nancy Drew'?"

He wasn't allowed to read anything else? Gosh, what was his childhood like? I wish I could help him…

"Nancy Drew," Devon started, chewing on her lip thoughtfully. "Nancy Drew was a series of books about a girl who solved mysteries. They were pretty popular. In fact, there's a whole new series that came out about her called the Nancy Drew Diaries. I heard that they were okay, but not as good as the old ones."

“Mystery books are pretty good,” he said, remembering. “Nancy Drew.. I’ll look it up later.”

“I still have a few books from when I was younger if you want to borrow them,” Devon offered with a small smile.

Sebastian gave a shy nod. “Thanks.”
