[ And, well, a lot of other things too, but he's too much of a gentleman to share some of the more intimate details. ]
Okay, if her shower stuff is anything to go by, she likes coconut, honey, and citrus.
[ Oh... she was just being cheeky, but Sam had come back with something sweet. It makes her smile at her phone, when she sees it. ]
you're too sweet to me, sam
[ It's not the first time she's said that, and it probably won't be the last, but there is now also juicy gossip to dig her little claws into, so, ]

[ He wouldn't be surprised if this leads to a shopping trip later, but as always, Juniper is just as generous with him as he's ever been with her. ]
