Ben stuck his tongue out. "I am not a geek!" But he took the hat off and charmed it so that there were a few twinkling stars, before pulling it back down over his head and ears. "How does it look?"
He laughed as well, even as a warm feeling of contentment bloomed in his stomach. "Well, you know how he's sort of moved into the house?" He didn't wait for a reply to that, and barrelled on ahead. "Well, we're going to move in together officially. In our own house, I mean. And I might be starting a new job."
