RENN HADLEY & CAMERON GRAHAM. @camerongrahamx

“We found a man hanging from the hotel balcony. Now will you  stop arguing about me doing room checks?”

Cameron tugs Phoebe closer to him from where she’s perched on his lap on their balcony as the cheering of the other residents of their apartment building who had gathered in the courtyard to ring in the new year began and the few, not so legally obtained fireworks they’d come out to see began to get set off. “You know they say whoever you’re with at midnight is who you’re going to spend the next year with,” he informs her as he raises a hand to cup her cheek and tilt her face towards him for a kiss. His other hand leaves her waist to slip inside his pocket and thumb open the small velvet box he retrieves, pulling away from the kiss and bringing it between them for her inspection. “I was hoping you might want to promise me a few more. What do you say? Wanna go into the new year as my future wife?”

“Nah, I’m flying solo for Christmas. Gonna order some Chinese food and have a Die Hard marathon. It’s what dreams are made of.”

“C’mon, what do I have to do to charm you out of your red velvet recipe? Might inspire me to become a less disastrous baker, you know.” Or he might nearly burn his apartment down again, but, hey, he’s no quitter.
