{`as soon as he hears the door knob turn, he pockets his phone and looks up; he raises an eyebrow as soon as he hears what she says, but only briefly, and before he can even respond, he’s already grinning widely at her and laughing} i don’t know what you’re winning, but i’m pretty sure it’s not against me. {`he taunts her, but his excitement about seeing her after a couple of weeks (with a few days overseas included) and how she’ll find his presents for her gets the better of him and prompts him to hand her the gift bag before anything else} but don’t feel too bad. here’s a gift package all the way from laos as your consolation prize. i’m so nice, am i not?
I'm always winning against you-- [* she declares as she steps aside, opening the door further so he can walk inside her apartment before she shuts the door after him; she's laughing, because of course this is typical banter between the two of them; soon she's reaching for one of the paper bags he's holding, if only to help him out with everything he's carrying--but then a soft giggle escapes her when she realises he's holding it out to her anyway because apparently they're her souvenirs from his latest trip ] Oh! [* she gets excited, taking it immediately and then peering inside ] What are these--? {* chortles and shakes her head ] Obviously this is the grand prize, right?
