But how?
Archie is an easy fix. Ignore his sex appeal, show him I’m immune to his charms, and his ego will get bruised all right.
But what about Satan?
Dr. McEvil seems like someone who hates to make mistakes. Which means all I have to do is prove he’s wrong about me. But first, I might need to bait him a little more.
Oh, the two of them, they think they’re so hot and clever. But wait until they meet the real me. They won’t know what hit them.
Boys, beware… Winter is coming!

WINTER
“Time to go eat,” Archie says a while later.
The two smartasses are still out there on Logan’s patio, drinking, and effectively trapping me inside my hut. I don’t feel like going out as long as they’re there.
“And?” Logan asks.
“The whole team is getting together; someone should invite Miss Knowles.”
Silence.
“Either you go, or I do,” Archie continues. “I’m sure she’d rather see my handsome face than your ugly snout.”
Logan scoffs.
“Come on, man, work with me, you’re being completely irrational,” Archie says. “The lady has rubbed you the wrong way only because she’s beautiful and because she gave you a verbal ass-kicking you totally deserved.”
Okay, Mr. Hill, you’re already walking up redemption road; maybe I should go easy on you.
Logan doesn’t reply.
“Dude,” Archie says, humor fading from his tone. “We are a team, and you’re the leader. You can’t push a member out just because you don’t like her. Time to grow a pair, buddy.”
And the Viking continues to impress. He’s not all swag and muscles. You know what? I’m taking back my decision to mess with him. He’s officially off my hit list.
“All right,” Logan snaps. “I’ll invite her. Happy?”
Satan makes asking me to dinner sound like such a chore.
“Use some of your good-boy charm while you’re at it,” Archie quips, “won’t you?”
Wait, so Logan is supposed to be the good one of the pair?
Ah.
And charm? What charm? If the man had any charm, it’d work on the monkeys at best! And not even. He had to bribe the macaque with a banana.
“You think she’s in her bungalow?” Logan asks.
“Yep, and she’s most likely been listening to every word we’ve said, silently hating us.”
Aha. If only you knew, my sweet Viking.
“Nah,” Logan says. “If she had been, she would’ve already come out to kick my butt and yours.”
