Kodi looked down at her hand, pressed against his, and waited for him to speak. When he answered her, she raised her eyes to his quickly, with a somewhat shocked expression on her face. She had spoken without meaning to and received a serious answer instead of a half-hearted joke?? Realizing her mouth was gaping open, she shut it and giggled nervously, nodding enthusiastically.<br/><br/>"Y-yes. That's exactly what I always thought." Kodi tilted her head to the side and looked at Arlen.<em>There is much more to him than what's on the surface,</em>she thought. She settled back against his shoulder and wiggled to get comfortable, grinning to herself and saying so softly he almost missed what she said. "You know what I think?? I think I just might be lucky after all."
