She nods. “That makes sense. You are not allowed to leave your phone behind any more. For that matter, carry two.”
I laugh. “Yes, ma’am.”
“Oh, I enjoy hearing that out of you.”
I laugh again. “Don’t get used to it.” I kiss her bare shoulder. “Any chance you have good delivery Thai food here? I’ve been eating at Cormac’s a lot lately—"
“He knows everything now? That you want me, not Pavel?”
“And he knows not to interfere again, yes.”
She sighs. “Good. And yeah, there are a few wonderful Thai places around here that are fast.”
“Perfect. Are you ready for supper?”
“Because we’re ninety-year-olds looking for an early bird special?”
I chuckle. “Because I’m famished. I haven’t eaten all day.”
She rolls over to face me. “How come?”
“Because I didn’t know how this was going to go, and my stomach was in knots all day.”
She smiles at me. “That’s so sweet.” Elsie kisses me, and it would be so easy to let that continue if I had any kind of energy left.
I pull back. “If you want to see where that kiss can go, I’ll need food for fuel first.”
“I got some of those protein bars you like so much, if you want a snack first.”
I laugh. “You’re gonna be the death of me. Where do you keep them?”
“Cabinet by the fridge.”
I saunter out there and grab two before bringing them to Elsie. I toss her one.
“What’s this for? I’m not hungry.”
“You’re going to need your energy to keep up.”
She smirks and opens the bar. “Promise?”
“Promise.”
