"Maybe that's cause I have been trying to get in your pants," Julian said with a shrug, deliberately lightening the moment.
Bianca gave him a withering look this time. "Men…" she muttered, turning away slightly as she crossed her arms.
"Hey!" he protested lightly. "We can think with both brains at the same time, you know."
Bianca let out a soft chuckle. "No… no you can't," she said, shaking her head. "Only one brain functions at a time." "And the longer one wins every damn time."
"Ouch! That's mean," Julian said, placing a hand dramatically over his chest as if wounded.
"That's true," Bianca replied without missing a beat.
Both of them broke into laughter. It was rare, these moments. Julian shook his head lightly, still smiling.
"You know, Dad is thinking about getting me a wife," he said, his eyes flickered toward her, watching closely for her reaction.
Bianca's brows lifted slightly, her expression shifting into one of mild curiosity. "Oh? Is that what you want?" she asked.
