He laughed a little. "I never thought of that," he said. "Maybe I should try that," he pondered aloud.
He winced a little, feeling silly got all the unintentional innuendo that was going on. He had to wonder if it really had to take a small explosion to get him to admit his attraction to Ella, even if it was just to himself. "Oh yeah!

"I have woken up to brothers and sisters jumping on me though," he laughed. "Being a big brother has so few perks," he joked, trying to break some of the tension.
