"No, no it is far too late now. The fun has been drained from the exercise as a result of your constant and incessant needling!" Harper exclaimed with mock outrage. "But the sweets will still help of course."

Harper clutched the pie close at Philip's last remark. "With interest? Am I to understand that you don't enjoy just making me free food on a regular basis? Is my company not enough for you? Well you will not be rid of me that easily my dear Phil." He took another bite of the pie. Why was his food so good? It almost made Harper want to move in just to ensure every meal was just that level of quality.
