“No, I’m not.”
“Prove it to me.”
“No.”
“I don’t believe you.”

I fist bumped Blake. Perfect timing, little dude.
The doorknob turned. Marlow’s splotchy face appeared. “What did he say?”
I grinned. “Told you I taught him a new word. A good one.”
She swiped at her eyes. “What did you say, baby?”
“Love.”
She dropped her forehead to his. “I love you too.”
I cupped the back of her neck and kissed her hair. “Don’t shut me out, Wicked. This will never work if you do.”
“I can’t let you in,” she said hoarsely. “I just can’t.”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“He promised the same thing.”

“What about more clothes?”
He waggled his brows. “What if you don’t need any?”
“Is that all you think about?”
“What’s the worst that could happen? Shouldn’t we have a little fun?”
I pressed my lips together. “This is your fault.” His expression was smug when he looked at me. “Didn’t take you long to get over the initial shock,” I muttered.
“I’m finding I like my new role.” He puffed his chest out.
