“You certainly seem comfortable here. That didn’t take long,” Zip commented.
“He fed me steak last night.”
Zip grinned. “Did he now?”
“With salad.”
Colt made a noise in the back of his throat that sounded very much like a growl.
“Don’t mind him,” Zip stated. “He’s just a grump.”
“I noticed,” I said with a laugh.
“Is that any way to treat the man that feeds you?” Colt taunted.
Shaking my head, I went back to looking in the fridge. “I rescind all claims that you’re grumpy. You’re generous and thoughtful, and when I’m in your presence, I have to stop myself from swooning.”
I took out an individual yogurt container and closed the fridge with my bottom.
“Wow, she gives you as much shit as your sister,” Zip noted. “I like it.”
“I don’t,” Colt huffed.
I saw a humorous twinkle in Colt’s eye and bit back a grin. I turned my attention to the yogurt container and struggled with the foil.
“Need some help,” Zip asked.
“Please.”
“Bring it here. I’ll do it,” Colt ordered, shooting his second in command a surly look.
It only made Zip smile wider.
Clearly Zip enjoyed goading Colt, and he was using me to do it.
I began opening drawers, looking for a spoon, and then brought the yogurt to Colt who peeled off the foil in one move.
“Thanks,” I said, taking the container back. Instead of sitting, I leaned against the counter and spooned in some yogurt.
“What did you major in?” Zip asked. “In college.”
“Who said I went to college?”
“Didn’t you?” he pressed.
“Yeah.”
“I love being right. It happens a lot.”
I let out a laugh, but then sobered. “I’m a semester shy of my undergrad degree in accounting.”
“Accounting?” Zip asked. “I wouldn’t have guessed that.”
“What would you have guessed?” I asked in sheer curiosity.
“Dunno. English, maybe.”
“Nah. I had no interest in sitting around reading the works of a bunch of dead guys. No appeal whatsoever.”
