I stood next to Peter,on for way too long, and Bodo didn’t see it up I let the ball-biter coer problems, that much was obvious

"How nice of her to co partially sarcastic I did wonder what her motivations were and if they were entirely altruistic, especially when I noticed how hard she washer boobs into my boyfriend’s chest

"Friendly, aren’t we?" said Peter under his breath

"A little too friendly," I agreed, walking towards the fast to keep up withoverly emotional then"

"I never do that either"

"Yeah, okay If you say so"

I looked at hi whiney baby or soet emotional when it comes to their boyfriends, and now you have that super vertical sex with hied her That’s it That’s all I’"

I took his hand in mine and squeezed "Thank you for that … whatever it was"

"It was a pep talk, and you’re welco until I was between Bodo and Kirsten, but Peter stopped all of a sudden and jerked my hand so hard I al for another lecture

But Peter wasn’t looking at ood lord in heaven and baby Jesus in a er Do my eyes fail me or has the most beautiful man ever created just arrived atabout Paci, then yes, he’s there"

Peter whipped his head to stare atthat you’d choose that person over aaaaall the other ones available" He wiggled his eyebrows at me "Mmmm-mmm-mmm … the plot thickens"

My face fla about Trip" I pulled my hand away "And I’ll have you know …"

My next planned atte suspicion offof Buster at the door to the prison So across the open space to the gate

"Oh shit What’s he doing?" I asked We had a few dogs with us, not to et eaten or traot my anshen he launched hi hiuy’s chest vertically to get to his ey ry at all

Peter put his fingers to his od, would you look? Is that not the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen in your entire life?" His voice had gone up into the high soprano ranges

"Uh, no It’s not It’s pretty gross, actually I hope you don’t plan on kissing his doggy droolis offensive too, now that I think about it I got nothing from that naked poodle, did you see that? Not even a hello How coets all the poodle love? When did I fall so low in the ranks around here?"

Peter arched an eyebrow at me "Oh, you want some poodle love? We can take care of that" Before I could stop hi out, "Oh, Busterrrr! Someone over here wants to say hello!"

Buster heard his name and turned As soon as he spotted me he launched hi across the grass towardsue bath

Peter bent doith me when Buster arrived, and we let him dance and bark and whine between us

"Yes, okay, Buster I’uy A happy naked poodle who stinks like rotten snails Yes, yes, I’ would you? You’re going to run out of saliva and dry up like an ugly little raisin"

He was panting so hard I was afraid he’d have a heart attack He started choking and gagging, but struggled to keep licking me anyway

I picked him up and walked hiuy was going to love me until it killed him Buster left no doubt in my mind; no one does a welcome home party like a poodle does

As I approached, Kirsten and Bodo split apart She looked very happy to see him, but his posture and expression told me he felt a little uncomfortable That seeuy who’d been kidnapped, drugged, and nearly raped, so I was happy to see it I stopped next to hi Kirsten

"Kirsten Nice to see you again" I held outMy sore arm stayed aardly at my side, but I patted her back with my other hand "Whoa Enthusiaslad to see you survived your trip"

"Thanks for co to Haven’s rescue I heard about the EWS How’s the baby?"

"The baby’s great, thanks And good, I’ifts Have you picked your code reader yet? My sister sends her regards by the way and says thanks again for the trade" Kirsten looked over at Bodo and the expression on her face ret there or nored my irrational desire to punch her in the head There was no need to get the Arill over a stupid boy, but now I really wanted to have a private conversation with her to pick her brain a little about Bodo’s stay at chez Aht for me Bodo’s penchant for secrets combined with her overly affectionate reunion made my ass hairs stand up

I snapped out of my jealous haze and answered her "No, we haven’t picked a code reader yet, but ill We’re totally in with the birds Seriously, it’s like the best news I’ve had in a year or ot here," said Peter He didn’t sound all that happy about being kept in the dark
