"I'm not wrong."

She bit back a curse as the snarl grabbed hold of the brush and wouldn't let it go.

She tugged at the imprisoned strands. Her day just needed this. "So you keep telling me."

"You're with the Sanctuary."

"So are a lot of women. Doesn't mean I buy into their grand scheme." She got a strand loose. She sat back against the wall. "Heck, I don't even understand what it is."

"They have your picture."

"They also have my DNA. I didn't give it to them willingly, but they still have it."

They'd strapped her down and stole it from her for reasons she didn't understand, but the

possibilities haunted her. She raised her brows at him, noting the fires in his eyes.

"Does

that mean I should be shot at sunrise?"

He took one slow breath and then another. Flames glimmered in his eyes. His fingers twitched again. "Vampires would more likely put you to the squad at sunset."

He had missed her point completely, wielding a literal view as if it were a defense against everything, including her. "You are so completely unemotional. It's a wonder you can function at all."

The brush slipped out of her grip, spun, and wrapped in her hair. From the corner of her eye, she could see it dangling. She left it there, a heavy reminder of how much she'd messed this up.

"Whereas you don't have the common sense God gave a gnat." His fingers opened and closed. His arm jerked just a little before he motioned to the brush. "Aren't you going

to get that?"

"I think I'll just wait and see if it catches on as a fashion accent."

She fished around in her pack until she felt the soft wool of a blanket. She drew it out, ignoring Jared's frown as she pulled it around her shoulders.

"You're cold?"

She didn't look at him. "No, I just thought I'd see how well the blanket accessorizes with the brush."

In reality, she was getting cold, which meant his blood was starting to wear off, which meant in a little bit she was going to have a whole new set of issues to cope with.

She drew up her knees and rested her head against them. The brush swung forward, pulling painfully at the trapped hairs. She ignored it along with the moisture it brought to her eyes. She needed a moment to get her emotions together; otherwise, when the pain started, she was going to fall apart like the basket case she was beginning to feel she was.

Jared's long-suffering sigh was almost the straw that broke the camel's back. He sat down beside her. She refused to look at him.

"You can't leave a brush in your hair."

"I can do anything I want."

She felt the weight of the brush lift. "So you told me before, so why don't you want this out?"

Because it was going take concentration and effort, and she just didn't have it to spare right now. "I told you."

"Sunbeam, even you're not so illogical that you expect me to buy into that bunk."

She rubbed her forehead against her knees.
