Removing two beers from the fridge, he hands one over to me and I open it.
“What did you call me earlier?” I ask, still curious at the mysterious nickname. He smiles, then winks.
“Lapochka? It means ‘little paw’, basically cute or adorable in Russian,” he says with a chuckle. I blush at the endearment but return his smile nonetheless.
“Little? Does that make you older than me?” I jest, attempting to return his banter, but he only laughs.
“That, and you’re tiny! Look at you, like a little rabbit in a wolf’s den. I’m 25, what about you?”
