"He gave her what?” Jolly stared at Rapz, hoping against hope that she’d misunderstood.

“Cash.”

“Poor Angelique.”

Rapz grinned. “She’s not so poor now. Our Mr. McCree was right generous.”

Jolly couldn’t help herself. She reached out and cuffed Rapz’s left ear. “And who is the fool who suggested such a stupid gift idea to Mr. McCree?”

Rapz took a step backward, his frown belligerent. “It wasn’t stupid. It was inspired.”

Jolly’s eyes scanned the crowded room but she didn’t see sign of either Garrett or Angelique. If they’d arrived at the party, their height would have made them easy to spot. She turned back to Rapz. “What on earth made you think cash was a good choice?” she asked through clenched teeth.

“Garrett said Angelique likes to shop. Down below you need cash to shop. Ergo cash is the perfect gift choice.”

“Oh, Rapz. At best, you are clueless.” Jolly shook her head in disgust. “Mr. McCree should have known better though. Did either of you think to clear your choice with Santa?”

Rapz took a sudden interest in a spot on the floor. His answer was a shrug.

“I didn’t think so.” Jolly’s only hope was that Angelique was a good sport and would find the whole thing amusing. She glared at Rapz. “Don’t you have someplace to be? Isn’t there something you’re supposed to be doing?”

Rapz’s face brightened and he snapped his fingers. “Right. The mistletoe. I’d better get that in place before the happy couple gets here.”
