She shoots me a sideways glance. "I assume it’s also armored."
"And has a self-contained oxygen supply."
"Should you be telling me all this?"
"It’s not a secret; you can look it up on Wikipedia. But even if it wasn’t there, I’d share it with you."
She shakes her head. "Don’t do that."
"Do what?"
"You know what. You’re trying to pretend we have a future together and we don’t."
"But we could."
She squeezes the bridge of her nose. "You’re not listening to me."
"I am, but I don’t agree with you."
"We were in that hospital together and you saw what happened. Already the newshounds are circling."
"And you and I are veterans at playing the media," I point out.
"Which is why I can’t believe I allowed myself to be caught coming out of there with you."
"You couldn’t have known that they’d have sniffed a story so fast."
"There’s no story." She lowers her hand and locks her fingers together in her lap.
"Not yet."
She tips up her chin. "Never will be."
"You’re stubborn."
"And you’re a pain in the wrong place."
"I can do a lot to alleviate any pain in any part of your body, baby."
She groans. "Ugh, that was terribly corny."
"So, why are you smiling?"
Her lips twitch. "Am not."
"You are, too."
She covers her mouth with her palm.
"That’s cheating."
The skin around her eyes crinkles.
I smirk. "Now you really are smiling."
She drops her hand and folds her arms across her waist. "You’re good at distracting from the topic at hand. A born politician."
"And you do a fantastic job with your PR agency."
