Eve blast out laughing. "Yeah, right. I may not weigh as much as a bunch of frozen food, but I'm no lightweight."
"Sure you are." He whirled his posterior to her and crouched slightly.
"Hop on."
"What? Are you nuts? You want to offer me a piggyback?"
"Why not? We're getting on to the same niche, and we need to get there quickly."
"I'll hinder you to a crawl."
"Try me."
Eve crumpled her arms. "I'm not getting on your back."
"Why not?"
"Because I weigh excessively much. And I don't need you to realize how much excessively much."
"Suit yourself."
Ethan swiveled back toward her and ladled her up in his arms.
She wailed.
As he strode off in the path of their edifice, just a few extra fences away, she jerked in his grip.
"Put me down!"
"If you don't remain still, I might plunge you."
"Fucking caveman."
