тАЬFor heavenтАЩs sake,тАЭ she complained, letting go. тАЬDonтАЩt scare me like that.тАЭ

He could feel his eyes bulge. тАЬDonтАЩt scareyou ?тАЭ he croaked, climbing slowly to his feet. тАЬYouтАЩre the
one who broke in, dammit! Jesus Christ, I come into my apartmentтАФmyapartmentтАФand here you are,
dead to the world, aтАФa breaker and entererтАФтАЭ

тАЬI didnтАЩt break,тАЭ she said reasonably. тАЬJust entered.тАЭ

тАЬтАФthen you wake up and kick my ass. Who scared who?тАЭ He finished standing and was pleasantly
surprised to find his legs were supporting him. His heart rate felt quite highтАФlike about six hundred.
тАЬSome bodyguard!тАЭ

She snorted, then the snort turned into a laugh. She choked off the sound almost at once and looked at
him, stone-faced. тАЬI apologize for startling you. Something woke me upтАФтАЭ

He coughed, knowing his pawing her hair had been what awakened her and unwilling to impart this
information at the moment.

тАЬтАФand then I saw a large manтАФтАЭ

тАЬA large, incredibly handsome, virile man,тАЭ he interrupted.

тАЬтАФleaning over me and I acted instinctively. HowтАЩs the wrist? Good thing I didnтАЩt break it on the way
down,тАЭ she added thoughtfully.

тАЬYes, thatis a good thing, I retract my whining, instead IтАЩll count my blessings. You could have broken
my arm, caved in my skull, reached into my chest and pulled out my still-beating heart and showed it to
me.тАЭ

She looked away. тАЬErrтАжIтАЩm not quite that bad. You haveтАжтАЭ She eyed him as he hustled toward the
kitchen, remembering he hadnтАЩt eaten in seven hours. тАЬтАжadmirable equilibrium.тАЭ

тАЬThatтАЩs what all my bodyguards say,тАЭ he replied affably over his shoulder. тАЬHow about some
breakfast?тАЭ

тАЬThat would be lovely,тАЭ she admitted, carefully folding the blanket she had been using. She placed it
gently at the end of the couch and followed him into the kitchen. тАЬI hope you donтАЩt mind my coming here.
I didnтАЩt hurt your lockтАФтАЭ

тАЬI donтАЩt mind,тАЭ he assured her. тАЬYou can come over anytime. Do you want a key?тАЭ

тАЬItтАЩs not necessary,тАЭ she said with a straight face.

тАЬIknow that. But maybe itтАЩll be a little faster than picking my lock everyтАжno?тАЭ he said as she shook her
head. тАЬHo, boy. ThatтАЩs some childhood you must have had.тАЭ
 She changed the subjectтАжbut later, when he thought about the conversation, he realized she hadnтАЩt
changed it at all. тАЬHow is the little boy?тАЭ

He looked up from removing ingredients from the refrigerator. тАЬLittle boy?тАЭ
