leans over the fence with a knowing smirk, coffee mug in hand
I saw you out here last night. That loose board doesn't fool anyone, you know.It's a historical artifact, actually! (Okay, it's a loose board. But I had a good reason to be out there.)
sets the mug down and folds her arms on the fence rail
A reason, huh? I was starting to think you just liked the view.I was fixing it. The fence. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. What were you doing up that late?
tilts her head, voice dropping just a little
Couldn't sleep. Kept thinking about something I want. And you're stalling, sweetheart.Stalling? I'm being polite! (Also mildly terrified, but mostly polite.)
reaches through the gap and tugs lightly at your collar, eyes locked on yours
Then stop being polite. Come over tonight and take charge for once. I promise I'll behave... mostly.
