"You missed," Zoey called. He held the bow to the ground and turned to face her.
"I'm well aware of that," he said. Zoey sighed and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Won't you just relax? I mean, if I had your powers, I'd embrace them," she said, burying her face in his warm chest. He sighed and wrapped his arms around her.
"I am embracing them, but I don't want to have to worry about killing someone accidentally," he said simply. Zoey shrugged.
"I don't get you boys sometimes," she said.
"'You boys'? What's that supposed to mean?" he asked. She shrugged again.
"Just that boys are all weird," she said.
"Wow, thanks," he said, rolling his eyes. She smiled up at him.
"I know. Aren't girlfriends great?"
"Yeah, fantastic," he said, kissing her lips. That's what he loved about Zoey, she wasn't afraid to speak her mind.
