"Darling, I'm home. Why don't you givea hug after a long day?" Landon beamed as he opened his arms at Lauren. The black coat, which was loosely draped on his shoulders, fell onto the floor, but he did not bother to pick it up.

"If you've done something to upset me, just givea kiss, and | won't be angry at you anymore." Landon rubbed his lips against her cold cheek.
Embarrassed to kiss Landon in Alyssa and Jasper's presence, Lauren still tiptoed and gave him a peck on the lips to avoid making him upset.

"Angie, | love fresh orange juice. Could you make two glasses of orange juice forand Lauren? She likes it too," Alyssa requested with a warm smile.
Sure. I'm on it." Angelina headed to the kitchen.

"Did Landon do anything weird to you lately?" Alyssa prodded with a skeptical squint.
