"Because you are, and I've got to keep up with you," he countered, because she was definitely sweet, kind and giving, and he just wanted to make her happy, loved seeing her smile, like he'd told her many times. "So, do you know of a good spot we should take? Or should we just search until we find one that looks good?" He'd been the park many times by now, but not always to search out good picnic spots.
