The next big step
Igor asked, "For the love of Merlin, why are you pacing the room so much?"
Corban stopped in his tracks and muttered, "Sorry, I'm just thinking."
Igor raised an eyebrow. "Well, care to share?"
Corban shook his head and resumed his pacing.
Igor stood up from his seat and sighed. "Cor, please stop pacing and just tell me what's on your mind."
Corban said, "Don't laugh at me."
Igor reassured him, "I promise that I won't laugh."
Corban told him, "I have been thinking about us a lot lately. Our relationship and how you're always talking about 'the next big step' for us to take. I think that there's one final next big step."
Igor insisted, "Well, don't just leave me hanging!"
Corban replied, "Children. Think about it, our next big step is to have children."
Igor grinned. "Of course! I hadn't even thought about children. You're absolutely right."
Corban inquired, "So, you agree?"
Igor nodded. "Yes, how could I not?"
