"Hey!" Tracey pointed her finger at Heidi. "Don't make me spank you. You're being a brat!" She tried hard to look mad and that the scolding was genuine but she failed miserably when she broke into a fit of giggles.
"You know, I really hate that you can make me do that," she said, rolling her eyes. No one other than Heidi could make her giggled with any vague sense of regularity.
"All right. Thanks." She did her best to sound gracious, figuring faking it would be bet until she could actually figure out how to be gracious.
Tracey smiled brightly in return. "Good. I'm not ready to let go yet." She hugged her tightly.
