“Are you kidding me?” Mel asked. “What if I don’t give in? Are you going to hold your breath until you turn blue?”
She watched Tate lift his head and look at Marty. He raised his eyebrows in silent question, and Marty gave him a small nod.
“Thanks for the idea,”
The kitchen door slammed into his side, and Marty grunted but still held his ground. The kitchen door didn’t budge.

8 " I’m going to marry him.”
“When we get back to Arizona,” Mel said. “Not here. Your parents would skin you alive and you know it.”
“But eloping is so romantic,” Angie protested. “We could go home as Mr. and Mrs. Tate Harper.”
