Finally something to wiggle back there, eh?” He teased before he thought better of it.<br/><br/>Pushing up from the couch, Corey scooched as directed, giving Grace plenty of space to join him on the couch and to enjoy the roaring heat from the hearth.  As his best friend spoke, Corey looked over to where the firelight caught her features, and felt his heart pounding hard against his ribs.  “Yeah, not too sleepy at all…” He replied, as he certainly wasn’t anymore.  “As for what…..I suppose we could snog…” As soon as he spoke, Corey’s internal alarms were going off left and right, shocked beyond belief that he had come out and actually said that.  Leaving the words lingering in the heated air between them for what had to be the longest few seconds of his life, Corey added a little laugh, trying to seem like he was joking to ease the sudden tension he had unthinkingly created.<br/>
