His eyes twinkled mischievously as he teased, "Sweetheart, do you have athlete's foot or something?" "What?" Sherilyn was taken aback. That was something she had never considered.
She mumbled, "No one's ever toldmy feet stink." "Silly." Gilbert struggled to keep a straight face. "Who would tell you that to your face? They'd definitely talk behind your back." That sorta made sense? Sherilyn was momentarily baffled.
"Not like me." Gilbert was enjoying this. "I'd tell you straight up." "You're talking nonsense!" Sherilyn blushed, "Letsmell them then?" Struggling, she tried to pull her foot away.
"Letdo the honors!" Unable to contain himself any longer, Gilbert grabbed her foot and brought it close to his nose, taking a deep breath. "Mmm...smells great! Haha..."
