Kyra smiled at him, turning to walk down the sidewalk. She studied her list, keeping her pace semi-slow for Ray's sake. After repeating the number of the next place in her mind, she dropped her arm, the list loose in her hand as she walked. She took her sunglasses off of her head and replaced them on her face, flipping a few strands of hair out of her face. She glanced back over her shoulder and slowed, hooking her arm in Ray's as she fell into step next to him. 

"This is fun, I feel like we're buying a house together," She said smiling. Her attention was caught by a couple of kids across the street, playing in the front yard. She looked away, feeling a twinge of guilt. She wasn't sure the reason for it. She was middle-aged with no children or even a husband. Sure, she loved Ray but thinking about anything further than the tentative relationship they had wasn't really worth it. She couldn't imagine them living out a regular life with children running around. Although, she thought, they would be the cutest little kids ever and her mother would stop haranguing her about 'carrying on the line'. Her eyes nearly rolled, but she held it back, pushing thoughts like those to the back of her mind.
