“Jack, you’re home early today,” Chloe said, surprised when he came wandering in at three in the afternoon. He looked dapper in black slacks, a grey button up shirt, and a pinstripe tie. After seeing him in jeans and a t-shirt for two days straight, it was like a Jekyll and Hyde transformation.

“I’m working from home for the rest of the afternoon.”

Yeah, right. Chloe knew he was checking up on her, worried about another confrontation between Chloe and the scorpion population. The house had been sprayed and the workers had strict instructions to keep doors and windows firmly closed from here on out. No one wanted to encounter a scorpion, hence they were all on board with the new rules. Especially after they heard about Chloe’s experience.

Nevertheless, she was good as new. After two days of bed rest—she was ready to get back to work. Her foot still throbbed and tingled, but other than that, she was fine.

“Everything okay?” he asked.

That was code for, “Any more close encounters of the creepiest kind?” He’d met her at the door this morning and walked her in, knowing she was going to be slightly apprehensive.

Little did he know, the scorpions were no longer foremost in her thoughts.

He was.

“I’m fine, Jack. Really. Stop worrying,” she said, even though she hoped he never stopped worrying about her.

“It’s looking good in here,” he commented, loosening his tie. The action made her pulse race.

“Now that I’m back to work, things will move quickly.”

He watched her for a moment, saying nothing, his expression enigmatic. Chloe wasn’t sure why, but she had the feeling he wanted to say something. “I’ll be in my room if you need me. Just holler.”

That was kind of abrupt. Chloe chalked it up to work pressure. Jack must have a million things to do after working from home so much. Surely, he’s swamped.

Your country's 500th anniversary to plan, your wedding to arrange, your wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it. You are swamped.

Chloe smiled at the memory of the first time she’d met Jack. Quoting The Princess Bride was a sure way to a girl’s heart. He’d definitely snuck his way into her heart. How had that happened so quickly? She wasn’t sure, but she was thankful for this unexpected turn in her life.

A little thrill of anticipation washed over her.

It was later that evening when Jack entered the room again, clothed once more in his perfect fitting jeans. Thankfully the man knew how to wear his jeans—with no saggy butt or boxers showing.

He held up a large flashlight. “Wanna go on a hunt with me?”

“I’m sorry, you got me with that one. I don’t know that movie.”

“That’s because it’s not a movie. I’m serious. I want you to go hunting with me.”

“Hunting?”

“Yep, for public enemy number one. This, my dear, is no ordinary flashlight. It encases a black light bulb. They make scorpions light up like a neon sign. From here on out, I plan to search the house on a nightly basis for the little suckers.
