Chapter 12
Fox
Iturn the paper bag over and everything spills out on the bed beside her.
Dani stares at them for a moment with curiosity before her eyes go wide. “Oh, hell no…”
“Dani…”
“I am not chopping my hair off!”
Firm, defiant. It takes everything in me not to lean over and kiss her right now. Just looking at her swimming in my too-big-for-her shirt is hard enough as it is.
“Yes, you are,” I say.
“No, I’m not.”
“Since we can’t go anywhere without someone recognizing you, we’re going to have to drastically change your appearance.”
“I’ll wear a hat.” She nudges the box of dye away with her toes. “Do you have any idea how long it took for me to grow my hair out like this?”
“Dani.” I take a deep breath to stay calm. After all these years, I’d forgotten how stubborn she can be. It still doesn’t stop my dick from throbbing. “You can either have long, pretty hair, or you can be dead.”
“I choose death.”
“If you don’t do it yourself, I will.”
She stares up at me, believing every word. “I thought the army was supposed to teach you patience.”
“I’m not in the army anymore. I was discharged.”
“Honorably?”
“For the most part.”
She crinkles her nose. “What does that even mean?”
“It means…” I lean down, “go cut your damn hair off or I’ll tie you down and do it myself.”
She stands up off the bed, challenging me. “If you want me to do this, then you have to tell me what the hell is really going on.”
I hesitate. “It’s a long story, Dani. We don’t have time.”
“You broke into my apartment today, didn’t you?” she asks, crossing her arms.
Shit.
“No, I didn’t.”
“Tell me the truth, Fox, because I sure as hell didn’t open those blinds.”
I sigh. “Okay. Yes. I did.” She opens her mouth to shout, but I talk over her. “I had to make sure I could watch you from across the street, so I broke in and opened your blinds after I left the house earlier.”
She frowns. “How long exactly were you watching me from across the street?”
“Since the moment you came home.”
“Even when I was—?”
