Allan chuckled, breaking the kiss just for a moment, “Got a room already,” he replied, still staring into Zoë's eyes.

“I don't know what's worse. Watching you two make out or knowing that if me and Jeff were apart for over three months, we'd be doing the same thing...”

That got Allan's attention.
