Chapter 8

As Frank finished bringing in their luggage, Angel perused the stack of mail her neighbour had piled on the kitchen table. A grey envelope with Carlos' return address on the upper left hand corner caught her attention. She sliced open the top flap and tugged out a folded sheet of matching grey parchment. Inside, printed in a bold black font, was an invitation to a party at Carlos' home the following Friday.

Peering over her shoulder, Frank scanned the invitation. "This will give me the perfect opportunity to hit old Carlos up for a job."

She glanced around, startled at how close Frank stood, his face mere inches from her own as he hovered behind her shoulder. She gulped and handed him the invitation, then strode to the counter to fill a glass with water, wanting to put more distance between them. As she sipped, she watched him sitting hunched forward on the chair, studying the invitation he held in his hands thoughtfully.

She took a gulp of water, then deposited the glass on the counter.

"You can't just waltz up and ask him for a job."

He glanced at her. "The trick is to get him to ask me."

Her gaze darted to his face. "Do you have any idea how to do that?"

He nodded, staring back at the invitation in his hands, his lips pressed together as he concentrated. "Yeah. I don't really think it'll be that hard." He turned to her again. "You go back to work on Monday. That gives you a whole week to drop hints about how annoying it is to have me lazing around the place while you get up and do the nine-to-five bit every day. You know, the old layabout husband letting his wife bring home the bacon."

His words and that lazy half grin of his made her laugh. "Is that any way for an adoring wife of one whole week to talk about her new husband?" she asked.

He dropped the invitation on the table and sauntered over to her, trapping her between his arms as he gripped the counter. "Is that what you are? An adoring wife?"

That grin up close was even more devastating than at a distance.

"No. Who could adore a mug like this?" She tweaked his cheek and laughed. "I'm just the world's greatest actress, that's all, with the world's most difficult role." She tried to duck under his arm but he was too fast for her, snagging her with one arm and tickling her side with the other hand.

"Is that right?"

Dreadfully ticklish, she crumpled over, giggling hysterically, his arm the only thing stopping her from falling to the floor in a heap. She raked at his wrist, firmly wrapped around her waist, desperate to stop him so she could breathe again. Laughing was all exhaling, no inhaling, and she was getting desperate for air. Finally, she pounded at him, still in the throes of laughter, tears flowing from her eyes.

"Stop it, Frank. Stop it," she finally squeaked in a burst of stolen breath.
