"Are you sure you want to go?"
Melanie paused mid-step and turned to face Adam, lifting a brow at his 'pouty' tone. "Yes," she said slowly, dragging the word out with mock patience. "I want to go. You met them, remember? They seem like perfectly normal people is what you said. I think I'd like to get to know them properly."
Adam leaned against the doorframe with folded arms and scowled, "You could've said no. Or just met them over lunch. Dinner, even. But no-three days away? A vacation? Without me? I don't like it."
She smirked and crossed the room toward him, stopping just close enough to tease him but not touch. "Ah, so that's what this is about."
He didn't respond and simply glared at her.
Melanie giggled, leaned in, and pressed a kiss to the corner of his lips, "You don't like the idea of me going alone because you're worried? Is that it?"
