Something glimmered in Bunny’s gaze as she nodded. “I’ll tell you to do the same.”
Andi flushed and quickly nodded in agreement. But she had no intentions of dating, so she wouldn’t have the opportunity to settle or keep her high expectations.
Instead, she nodded at the door. “Skeeter still out there?”

“I imagine he gives every woman the creeps.”
“You can say that again.”
The two of them exchanged a small smile, finally finding something to bond over.
Then Bunny peeked out the door. “It looks like he’s gone. Now hurry out there and finish that food. It’s too good to waste.”
“It is awfully tasty. And Iamhungry.” Her stomach rumbled in response.

A few more minutes of silence passed.
Then Ranger asked, “You got anyone attached to you?”
Duke did a double take, surprised by the personal question. Ranger didn’t seem like the kind of guy who would ask.
“I’m engaged.”
Ranger’s eyebrows shot up. “Really? I wouldn’t have guessed.”
Duke stiffened at his words. “Why’s that?”
“You don’t strike me as the type who’d be engaged.”
His eyes narrowed. “I don’t understand.”
Ranger shrugged nonchalantly. “You’re one of those people that give off an aura.”
