Cavers was in the doorway He was lingering there

Jake went to the second floor, givinglook Gus sniffed my hands, but I didn’t have any treats for him, so he went on up the stairs, too

My mouth dried

Yes I’d be upset if he did

My body was getting heated

I’d be more than upset I’d be pissed off

I frowned “Why are you telling me that?”

He shrugged He was such a bigand uncomfortable until today

“You waiting to talk to Raize?”

His gaze moved pasthe’ll be back there”
