He grins, rubbing a tattooed hand down his bearded face “Mother Nature gives the best workouts, man”

“I agree Let’s just hope Kaylee does too”

I grin “If there are two of her …”

He laughs “If there are two of her, I’ll take the other for a workout” He whistles through his teeth “How did ya score that?”

“What about me?”

“You interested in that?” He smirks “I mean, clearly you are because you’re not blind”
