Arabella leaned slightly into his touch, glancing up at him the best she could. “You just like to tease me.”

Asher chuckled. "Yes. That's exactly it. That's why I do everything." he teased.

“That’s so not cool.” She stuck her tongue out at him but smiled.

He smirked, winking at her. "It's the whole reason I exist." he teased.

Arabella shook her head violently and hid her face again. “You exist to tease me? That doesn’t sound right.”

He laughed, holding her close. "Mm. The entire reason."

“I think the entire reason is to give me hugs.” She teased back, laughing as she hugged his arm and grinned up at him.

Asher rolled his eyes, laughing. "Maybe."

“Maybe? Does that mean no more huge?” She pouted playfully, that sparkle behind her eye still just as bright as ever.

Asher chuckled. "Nope. No more hugs." he said, not releasing her from their current hug.

“That’s awful. Guess I’m going to have to hold this hug forever.” She giggled

He laughed. "Mm." He replied.

“I’m never going to let go.” Arabella began to walk backwards towards the cookies, pulling Asher with her. She kept one arm around him as she stole another cookie to eat, grinning.

Asher yelped as she began to move, and carefully glanced back.

Arabella took a bite of her cookie and grinned up at him. “Did I scare you?”

Asher chuckled. "No. Just startled me." he replied.

(Sorry for the waits, my classes are more demanding.)

She giggled lightly and leaned up to press a kiss to Asher’s cheek.

(it's fine!)

Asher smiled, and kissed her cheek in return.

“I’m sorry I startled you.” She hummed, taking his hand in hers.

He shrugged. "It's fine." He chuckled softly.

Arabella smiled gently before carefully pulling away from him and sighing deeply. "I need to make sure these cookies are done enough. Do we have bags or something we could put them in for our neighbor?"

He smiled a little bit. "Mm. Alright. And yeah, we do. Somewhere."

She tilted her head gently, moving back over to him and giving him a quick hug once more. “Do you know where?”

He shrugged. "Nope." He said with a soft laugh, shaking his head.

“Mm… that might be a little bit of a problem.” She laughed gently and tilted her head at the cabinets.
