Theo looks at me, his eyes sparkling with amusement, "I've never heard you snort before, that was cute," he chuckles.  
"Stop it-" I cover my face and peek out "there's a lot you don't know about me."  
He tilts his head thoughtfully and replies, "The phone works both ways...So, how are you?"  
His question catches me off guard, I flatter and place my hands infront of me "I'm good. And you?"  
"Good. Any plans for the summer?"  
"Umm... I'm aiming to break my record. Last summer, I read...34 or maybe 40 books. I can't remember."  
"Wow, what kinds of books do you enjoy?" He leans in, genuinely interested.  
My heart skips a beat.
