"Oh, just that if Dina mentions the word 'ring' one more time, I'm outta here."

"And I was telling him he'd hate being married," Joe added.

"It's not really Dina anyway," Russ said. "I don't think she would care if it weren't for Luann. Like right now. I bet they're in there yapping about my future like I'm not even out here." He dropped his empty can back into the open cooler and leaned back in his lawn chair and looked out over the scrubby yard.

I looked back towards the screen door but no one was there.
