"It does not!" she told him adamantly, the frown that she currently wore threatening to turn into a smile at any moment. It really was hard to stay mad at Fred. "I guess I must lie a lot for you to pick up on something like that."
Swatting at his arm, she added, "You'd better be careful what you ask for. Someday you might just get it, you know. If I was going to dance, it wouldn't be on some rickety little table. I'd go all out and dance up on the bar, but I'd have to be completely smashed to do that."
