Becca held back laughter, knowing how ridiculous it would be if she sat there laughing by herself. Because really? If he hadn't laughed at that, he wasn't going to. "Uhhm, really? Why them?"

Failure.
Even though her pride was crushed, she raised herself to her feet and extended both arms down to Plymouth. "C'mon," she offered. Sigh.
