Bella rolled onto him with a soft little giggle, her hair falling over his chest like a warm blanket, and Leo let out a low chuckle beneath her. She looked down at him with eyes so bright they felt like tiny stars trapped in her lashes, and then, without warning, she grabbed both his cheeks and squished them playfully.
"You're soooo cute!! You're sooo nice!" she declared proudly, shaking his face like a soft toy.
Leo held her waist, steadying her little excited wiggles. "You can't call a handsome guy cute, bunny," he said, pretending to be deeply offended.
Bella blinked, then leaned down until her nose almost brushed his. "Okay… you're sooo handsome… you're sooo hot… you're sooo sexy…" she whispered with all the confidence of someone who had studied hard for this exact moment.
Leo froze.
