By the time we arrived back at Max's place, a weird, charged tension cracked in the air between us. We had less than two hours before we had to leave for the airport, and my lizard brain knew exactly what it wanted to do for as long as possible. As soon as we lurched to a stop, Max surprised me by leaning across the console, giving me a kiss on the mouth, then jumping out of the Jeep and running as fast as she could toward the front door. I scrambled to get my seat belt off, which appeared to have gained sentience and wasn’t about to let go of my body, then fought with the tricky door handle before leaping from the vehicle and running to the cottage, just as Max was about to slam the door in my face.

“Ye shall never take me alive, ye scurvy knave!” she shouted, laughing.

“And why should I want you, you shrieking shrew!” I hollered back, my foot now wedged firmly in the doorframe.

“Because you love it when I shriek for you,” she retorted, still pushing on the door for all its worth.

I grinned. She was right, I did love it.

“Maxine Peters, is that man trying to break into your house?” The cry came from behind me. I turned and saw an elderly lady on the sidewalk armed with a cane and a cell phone.

Well, damn. I moved my foot out as quickly as I could considering it was being squashed, and then Max got with the program. She stopped pushing on the door, opened it gently, and shouted, “No, no, Mrs. Howser. It’s my houseguest. We were playing a game.”

I snickered. Well, I suppose foreplay is a kind of game, when it comes down to it.

“You young people are so strange these days. Too young and full of vigor to come to the church socials, too old to be playing games on the front porch that terrorize your neighbors!”

“We’re sorry for the disturbance, Mrs. Howser. Enjoy your day!” Max grabbed me by the front of my shirt and hauled me inside, slamming the door behind me.
