“Of course I can.”
“Great. Show me, then.”
“I bloody well will do.”
“Awesome, I can’t wait. In fact, I think I’ll just take a seat right here on the floor, seeing as how you got conned out of having any chairs,” she said as she did just that. She settled down on whatwasactually pretty freezing hardwood and folded her legs together in front of her. “And now I’ll watch you use your probably analog flip phone to turn on your shower. Should be easy, considering we’re not even as far away as down the road. We’re just in the next room. Right?”
She looked up at him after she’d asked, expecting the same struggle as before. But there was much less there this time. He didn’t look like he was fighting his honesty, at least. He looked a little resigned, and just a touch chagrined.
Like he was getting used to whatever this was now.
He was starting to go with it.
“You already know it’s not going to work no matter what I do, don’t you,” he conceded.
“Of course I do. But if I say that, then I won’t get to watch you try.”
He shook his head and blew out a breath. “You’re sadistic, you are. Like a really evil Mary Poppins.”
“I’m trying not to be. But you just make it so easy and fun.”
“And I want to be furious with you for that, I do. Only I can’t be.”
“Why can’t you be?”
“Because it is,” he said.
And now it was her turn to be the one thrown.
Because she knew what he meant. He was suggesting that this was easy and fun for him, too. Or at least, that he was starting to find it so. Something about it was beginning to appeal to him, amid his irritation and struggling and impatience.
All of which sounded right.
But she couldn’t quite believe it, until he suddenly tossed her his wallet.
One-handed, as he said something that removed pretty much all doubt.
“Now. Here’s my credit card. Get that fucking TV ordered, will you.”
