"Better than the alternative," Bella acknowledges.

"She would be all glary. It would be terrible."

"Spare me from the terrible wrath of your glares, Savannah."

"Rawr," says Savannah, grinning. "Yeah, sure."

"Even if we become less cute at some time for some reason? We are safe?"

"If you are less cute at some time for some reason you might not be safe. But for now, yes. You are."

"Oh, no. We'd better remain adorable, Darren. I'm scared."

"Me too," says Darren. He wraps an arm around her. "We should try rationing it, so it lasts longer."

"How do we do that?"

"Only certain levels of adorable that we can meet per day, if we go over we are tapping too much from the bank of adorable and risk running out."

"But what if we found a way to reinvest the adorable and draw compound interest?"

"Then we will have to react accordingly," agrees Darren with a laugh. "And reinvest the adorable."

"Yay. Cuteness perpetual motion machine."

"It's perfect! Savannah will never start glaring at us!"

"Do you suppose you can make a magic literal perpetual motion machine? To power a generator of some kind?"

".... Hmmm." Darren thinks about this. "... Maybe? I wouldn't know where to begin, but I don't think I should rule it out."
