Seeing her sprawled out on the couch, the unmistakable scent of popcorn filled his nostrils.  Paul found the popular snack to be amongst the all-time awesome smells.  Theatre popcorn, on the other hand, was downright temptingly lethal.<br/><br/>His brow creased as Charlette muttered a question through a mouthful of popcorn.  Something about missing her.  Paul was glad to see her relaxing and enjoying herself.  He smirked as he wondered whether or not she’d completed her homework.  With all the science involved, nursing students had to have a ton of books to study and assignments to complete.  But since he wasn’t her dad, he wasn’t about to ask.<br/><br/>There was room on the couch, so Paul made himself comfortable near her feet.  He wasn’t sure without a side-by-side comparison, but he was pretty positive that the shorts she was currently wearing were shorter than her previous pair.  Ever the temptress, he thought.  Best not look too close.<br/><br/>Do not touch, Old Man.  You’re still recovering, remember?  A light snicker.<br/><br/>Paul scoffed at the warning.  He wasn’t even thinking of laying a hand on her, quite sure as to where that would lead if he did.  “Missed you?” he repeated.  “I guess so, since we haven’t seen each other since this morning.”<br/><br/>“How was your day and classes?” Paul asked.  “Has Nurse Charlette been tempting all those poor guys on campus?” he teased, though he harbored no doubts she could do that without even trying.
