241 Someone Warm

Once Aaron was out of earshot, her father decided to tease her. "You two seem awfully close these days. I was surprised when you invited me to go furniture shopping with him."

The TV covers half of the wall and the couch is the biggest I've ever seen. Three people could lie down on it side by side and still not touch."
