---------- Twenty Minutes Later
Kirsten and I had stayed in the kitchen for twenty more minutes after we had both shooed Roman from the room and managed to clean up after ourselves and the disastrous mess the man had made while trying to help.
"I guess it is kind of relieving to know Roman isn't good at everything he does," Kristen told me jokingly as she nudged me in the ribs.
"I can still hear you," Roman said loudly from the living room where he had gone to retrieve something, "And I don't appreciate the slander in front of Hannah."
"So can I slander you when she's not here?" Kristen asked as we both watched Roman come back into the room while adjusting his earring.
Roman moved to stand behind me for a moment and gave me a quick kiss on my forehead. "Of course. Just don't make me look bad in front of my girl."
