Chapter Eight

THE afternoon was pretty busy, and I was glad when work was over. Jackson approved of getting out into the fresh air too. Dale and I argued about him accompanying me, which I ended with, “Geez, Dale, I don’t need a bodyguard. I walk this route every day at least twice. I’m not some damn damsel in distress, so knock it off!”

He stared at me, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and grumbled, “Excuse me for being worried about you.”

I huffed in exasperation. If he was that protective of me now, how would he react knowing I was epileptic? I pushed that thought aside. “There is nothing to worry about. I’m able to take care of myself. I actually did that for a long time. Don’t act like an overprotective caveman.”

“I’m not a caveman.”

The indignation in his voice elicited a chuckle out of me. “You so are.”

His face was a battlefield of various emotions, and I blinked in astonishment. Eventually he sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, “I’ll pick you up at a quarter to eight. Would that be okay?”

“That would be fine.”

I took a step toward him and raised myself up on tiptoes. His arms settled around me as he stooped to press a firm kiss on my mouth. My hands found their way into Dale’s hair, threaded through it, and I enjoyed the silky sensation. I was about to deepen the kiss when someone cleared his throat. I would have jumped and bolted, but Dale’s arms tightened around me to keep me close.

“I’m glad you two are getting along so well, but would you mind moving… whatever you’re doing to a more private place?” Alan asked.

“Sure,” I croaked.

Dale dropped a light kiss on my forehead before he released me. I swiftly slipped into my coat, whistled to Jackson, and left work with flaming cheeks.
