New chapter time! This one actually took me forever and I don't know why.

Remember small details about her.

"Hey Leonard," Penny said, smiling over her shoulder at him as he entered her apartment.

"Hey," he said, coming into the kitchen area and peering over her shoulder. "You're cooking?"

"Yeah," she said. "I just paid my rent and cable bill and figured out I don't have enough money to order food in. So we're having spaghetti."

"Sounds delicious," Leonard said, kissing her briefly on the cheek. "So," he said, "I was talking to one of the guys in the chemistry department, and I might have a job for you."

"At the university?" Penny said, turning around in confusion.

"No, no," Leonard said. "This guy's brother lives out in the country, a little less than ninety minutes away, and he's hurt his back and can't do technical work on his equipment. I mentioned that you know your way around tractors and he's offering you eight hundred dollars to fix his tractor engine. He's estimated it'll take him about a thousand to replace the parts, so if you're willing to make the drive and put in the time, he'll give you the eight hundred."

Penny raised her eyebrows. "How would you know that I would be able to do that? I never told you that I can rebuild tractor engines."

"Yeah, you did," he said. "Back when we first met and the guys and I were building your furniture."

Penny frowned. "I did?"

He nodded. "Yep. You said you did it when you were 'like twelve'."

She cocked her head and smiled. "You remembered something I told you off handedly from six years ago?"

He slid his arms around her waist. "I listen when you talk."

"Sounds like it," she said, putting her hands on his arms. "What other little things you know about me?"

"Well," Leonard said, "You can hog tie and castrate an animal in a minute. You used to use Green Apple shampoo but changed to coconut when I mentioned that I liked the coconut smell of that one lotion place we went to. And…" he smiled. "You really like it when I kiss you riiiiiight…" he leaned down and spoke with his lips near the right side of her neck, right above the collarbone. "Here." He planted his lips on the spot in question, and Penny closed her eyes and slid her arms around his neck.

He lifted his head and smiled at her. "Did I do good?"

"Impressive," she said, smiling back at him. "Now you want some spaghetti?"

"I don't know…" he said, teasingly. "If it's not as crunchy as last time, it's just going to be a letdown."

She gave him a mock glare. "Shut up."
