His humming pulls me from the lines of text growing hazy and forgotten in front of me. Tearing my eyes from my lap, I find him kneading his bottom lip between his fingers. A corner of my mouth greets my cheek as I observe him flip a page and his eyebrows sink closer to his pair of greens, concentrating.
"What are you humming?" I ask, cocking my head to the side and narrowing my eyes. The sound stops and his eyes shoot over to me, brows still hugging his eyes, now in confusion.
"Hmmm?"
"What song are you humming? I don't recognize it," I explain, standing from my seat. The smooth, tiled floor is a welcomed cold against my bare feet that plod a path towards his tall bookshelf.
"Oh, that. Um, Junk by Paul. God, I love that song. 've been listenin' t' him loads with tha concert comin' up. You should too, babe."
"I will, thanks for the reminder," I tell him, winding my arms around his neck and pecking his cheek. Watching the dimple fall into it, a happy hum radiates through my chest.
"Whatcha wanna do fer dinner t'night? We could eat those leftovers from last night, or I dunno, heat up a can o' soup. Perfect weather fer it right now, 'd say."
"Both sound good. You can call it, but I'm going to go and refill our teas," I answer, leaving another kiss on his stubbly cheek.
"Oh, thank you, love. I hardly noticed, been so engulfed in this bloody book."
