“If you’re lucky, that excuse I gave Matt about taking Bravo to the vet will buy you a couple of hours. Maybe a little more,” Paige said. “But if he keeps up that ruckus, one of my neighbors is going to complain. When they see the Expedition here, but can’t get me at home, they’ll call the police station, and you’re going to lose half of that time.”
Bravo’s howls hit a particularly shrill note. Marco’s skin prickled like someone had scraped fingernails over a blackboard.
“You could shut him up.”
“I could, but I won’t.” Her eyes narrowed. “And don’t you even think about hurting him.”
Marco almost grinned. She had a backbone of steel. He knew that. It was one of the things he liked about her. All that strength in such a small, pretty package. She wasn’t going to back down, and she was right about Bravo’s barking costing him time.
Still, he’d rather walk over burning coals than take the poodle with him. At the moment, though, he didn’t see where he had much choice.
He gave Paige a long-suffering look. “You’re really going to make me take the dog, aren’t you?”
She smiled smugly. “Are you going to just stand here all night, or are you going to get Bravo so we can get out of here?”
He studied her curiously. “Let me get this straight. Now you want me to take you with me?”
Somehow, even while he was carrying her in his arms, she managed to look down her nose at him, wearing an expression of regal superiority that would have made Queen Elizabeth proud. “As long as I’m with you, I haven’t lost you.”
He almost laughed. Backbone of steel, indeed. More like titanium. “Still figure you’re going to take me in, huh?”
“I know it.”
“And you aren’t the least bit worried about your safety?”
