“Telling me to leave isn’t going to get rid of me,” he informed her.
She sighed. “It’s sad when people don’t realize they’ve outstayed their welcome.”
“Maggie,” he said in a warning tone.
And there he was.
Mr. Grumpy-Knickers was back. But crap . . . that meant that she wasn’t dreaming. All of that had just happened.
“Can’t you just go?” she cried. “Haven’t I been humiliated enough?” She fell back on the bed and curled into a ball. It was too much; it really was. What she needed was a bubble bath, some soothing music, and her stuffed zebra.
And the ability to alter minds and erase memories.
Was that too much to ask for?
She didn’t think so.
“Look at me.”
Maggie opened her eyes.
Again, he reached out to touch her. And again, he pulled back.
Wow. Way to make a girl feel rejected.
“Please leave.”
“I can’t.”
Why? Because he wanted to declare his undying love for her? It was obvious he was obsessed with her.
Sad, really.
“I need to ensure you’re okay,” he told her.
Okay. That was kind of nice. Perhaps she’d just erase the last hour from his memory.
“And I need to take you to the bathroom so you can pee.”
“I don’t need to pee,” she told him.
“Yes, you do. Everyone needs to pee before they go to bed.”
“That’s not true. I never pee before I go to bed.”
He narrowed his gaze as though he was trying to figure out if she was telling the truth. She was stretching it. Just a tad.
“Well, now you’re going to start. If you need to pee during the night, I won’t be here to carry you. Unless . . .” He stared at the bed.
Was he thinking about . . .
“I’ll pee! Sheesh.” She sat up and held up her arms. “Carry me, donkey!”
“I am not a donkey.”
“Hmm, are you sure? You cart me around wherever I want to go. You make a lot of noise. And you have a bad attitude. Pretty sure you’re a donkey.”
“And I’m pretty sure that you’re seconds away from not being able to sit comfortably tomorrow.”
