She chuckles, "I'm 5'1" but my personality is 6'2", plus food is one of the seven wonders of life." Her eyes widen before she shrugged and taps her fingers on the table.
"The seven wonders of life? Like the places in the world?"
She shook her head with a chuckle, "no, James. The seven things in life that universally make people feel joy."
His eyes narrows, studying her as she spoke, so sure of herself. "So there are seven? Let's here 'em."

She nodded and looked back into his crystal gaze, "Seven, typically here I say adventure...but the truth is...I think the seventh is control. Seven is probably having Autonomy over your own life."
