Love
Stephen knew he loved her. He just wasn't sure how to tell her. He debated talking to Cutter about it, but decided against it and there was no way in Heaven or Hell he was going to talk to Conner. He could do better than that geek on any day.
He thought about telling her in a big showy way, like taking her to dinner and then telling her there. Then he realized that she probably wouldn't want it to be so…public.
So he thought about just casually telling her on their weekly movie night. It was her
week to pick and she was sure to choose a romantic comedy. The mood would be set at least.
He let out a sigh and glanced over to the reptile cages, one of which was empty. Then he got it! He would get her a new lizard. Abby had said just the other day how the empty cage was a bit depressing. Plus, about a week before, she had seen a spotted salamander on the telly and said how cute it was.
Yes, Stephen had figured out how he would tell her. He would go out and buy a spotted salamander, a blue one. Abby liked blue. He wondered how many colors there were, and if there even was a blue spotted species. He would talk to the clerk at the pet store. They were sure to know.
He would go to the store first thing in the morning. Now, all he had to do was get Conner to stay out of the house tomorrow.

So here's part two. Tell me what you think.
Oh by the way, I might actually be getting a blue spotted salamander. They are so gosh darn cute!
