He doesn't answer my question, instead he walks out of the house, me still on his back.
He carries me about three blocks before I say something, "You don't have to carry me, I can walk."
"I don't mind," he says sweetly.
I smile and kiss him softly on the head.
"Where are we going?" I ask again.
"You'll see," he says mysteriously.
"Come on," I plead, "tell me."
"I am taking you, Katie, to get ice cream."
A small giggle sweeps out of my mouth, "ice cream? Sounds good," I think about the ice cream shop for a second, "isn't the ice cream shop ten blocks from here?"
"Yes, ma'am," he says like a solider answering to his commanding officer.
"And your going to carry me all that way?"
"Correct."
Ben and I talk for another 10 min before we reach the the shop. Once we're at the entrance he sets me down.
"I think I threw my back out holding you!" He says chuckling.
"You could've let me walk, ya know."
"Now what fun would that be?" He says with one eyebrow up.
He wraps his arm around me and we walk in together.
