Sam sat down and reached for his newspaper, but Holly’s hand caught his. “Sam, there’s something I want to talk to 你 about.”

“Me too.” Sam said, placing his hand over Holly’s. “I’ll be right back.”

冬青, 冬青树 sighed as Sam walked (or ran) out of the room. He came back a moment later in a T-shirt and some loose pajama pants.
