{Recap}

“Someone gave it to me,” I bob my head, “But I have no idea how.”

            “Mmm,” Mitch looks down at me.

            “What,” I cross my arms and arch my brows.

            “It’s a love bite,” he breathes softly.

            “Huh,” I scrunch my brows, “Nobody bit me.” Mitch bursts into laughter and drags his hand down his face.

            “Too cute,” Mitch shakes his head.

            “Do you know who gave it to me,” I burst out exasperated.

            “His name starts with an M,” he replies as a loopy grin spreads across his face. My face immediately heats up as I look at Mitch.

            “You did it,” I sputter softly.

            “You could be Sherlock,” he twirls a strand of my hair.

            “No wonder Emile looked so embarrassed,” I mutter to myself as my cheeks redden. Mitch’s mouth drops open in shock and he guffaws with laughter.

            “You showed someone,” he holds his stomach.

            “Yeah,” I answer humiliated.

            “Please don’t change tiger,” he manages to say between laughs, “Don’t change.”

            Once Emile returns she quickly finishes the dress and has me put it on. Completely grateful for her gesture of her kindness I thank her profusely as Mitch and I exit her hut.

            “That was very nice of her,” I comment as we walk through the village.

            “Mmm,” Mitch moves a lock of hair from hanging over an eye.

            “That drives me crazy,” I spin to face him, “Mmm isn’t a word!”

            “Really,” he chuckles as he folds his arms.

            “Stop doing...it,” I gesture wildly.

            “Ok,” Mitch laughs quietly as he continues walking. I wrinkle my eyebrows confused about how easy that was and follow along behind him. My eyes rove around the busy world around us and stop on three children playing.

            “Mitch look,” I grab his arm and point.

            “Mmm,” Mitch glances at me and then in the direction I’m pointing.

            “Seriously,” I toss my hair back and place my hands on my hips.

            “Unless you have a word for being mildly interested in something,” Mitch rolls his eyes, “I’m saying mmm.”

            “Ok...” I pause as I think, “Say...wow.”

            “No,” Mitch answers with a chuckle.

            “Well I had a word for being mildly interested,” I shrug, “So you can’t say mmm.”

            “Wow is when you see something amazing,” Mitch replies endearingly as he taps my nose, “Like when I see you,” he grins at me cheekily. I blush slightly but manage to keep my annoyed expression. I cross my arms over my chest and chew my lip.
