I look up at her. “Yes.” I give her a soft smile.
Lily smiles back, her goofy expression on her face. Awesome! I’ll grab the Windows 7 Ultimate ISO, and you can start the installation process. I’ll also grab a few snacks to keep us energized during this marathon session!
She hops off the chair and heads to the storage room.
