Rafe did not bring her into the bedroom for more sex, much as Abbe would have liked that. Instead, he rushed her through the process of dressing and packing.

“But you won’t need to bring anything,” he said, trying to shove her into a sweater and hustle her out the door.

“What? I’m just going to walk around the Berkshires naked for a day and a half?” she asked sarcastically.

Rafe thought about it for a moment. “Interesting. But no. You don’t need to pack because I have everything you’ll need already there. I never pack,” he said, pointing at himself by way of example.

“Because you are a weird rich person. Normal people pack,” Abbe replied, stubbornly throwing a few things in a bag, and scuffing her feet into a pair of boots. “I’m ready. Are we going to drive there tonight?”

He gave her a look like she was crazy. “We have to go back to my place tonight. I have to get Daisy.”

Abbe grimaced, chagrinned. “You’d think I would have remembered that.”

“You’d think,” he agreed, dropping yet another kiss on her lips. He kept doing that. Stopping her in the middle of an action so he could kiss her, only to immediately complain afterward about the fact that she wasn’t ready yet.

They finally made it into the car and fought their way through evening traffic into Boston. Luckily, they were going in the opposite direction of the worst of it. The first thing they did was take Daisy out for a walk, although Ray, the concierge, assured them that he had just walked her an hour ago. It was nice to go on a walk and enjoy the crisp autumn air after a rain.

“You’re quiet. Which normally I’m fine with,” she said after a solid ten minutes of silence from Rafe.

“I keep wanting to ask you questions about…your ex,” he said, avoiding using Danny’s name, though Abbe knew he remembered it.

“Go ahead,” Abbe said, sort of knowing this was coming. “It doesn’t bother me to talk about it.”

“Yes, it does,” he said quickly, and then moved on. “Did you live together?”

“For two years.”

“Did you have a dog?”

Abbe laughed. “He’s allergic to all kinds of animal dander. Cat, dog, horse, you name it.”

Rafe’s head turned to her in surprise. “How’d that work? I mean, you’re always covered in some kind of fur—”

“Geeze, thanks,” Abbe said, offended.

“No, I mean, I don’t care, but if he was allergic, what did you do?”

“I had to shower as soon as I got home and change out of my work clothes. I kept them in a separate hamper.”

“I’m guessing he never came to visit you at work.”

“Nope.”

“But he supported your work at that shelter, right?”

Abbe made an iffy gesture with her hand. “He loved what I did, in theory. He’s an activist, you know. Vegan, very involved with animal rights and the environment and social issues. He’s like a professional protestor,” she said. She saw Rafe’s mouth tighten like he was holding back saying something. “What?”

“Nothing,” he growled, obviously annoyed.
