Rob found my frustration with wearing formal attire to work funny, and I glared at him in my effort to squelch his amusement. His eyes sparkled with his mirth, and his mouth curved in his best smile.

I wore my workout clothes to both spite him and remind him I wasn’t a high-classed woman. My effort only seemed to amuse him even more, and his delight was written on his face for the world to see.

Maybe I should have let him speculate until the early hours of the morning. At least that way, I would have learned something. Instead, I witnessed Rob’s more lecherous side, and it amazed me how much lust and desire a man could display without taking off a single stitch of his clothing.

Once upon a time, Kenneth’s mouth had fascinated me, but Rob’s enthralled me and silenced any desire to scold him for enjoying my plight. He was smiling, and I didn’t want him to stop, which confused me almost as much as his enthusiasm over what I would wear to the police station so I could shoot a gun.

While I gawked and floundered like an idiot, my temporary advantage and victory rendered null and void by Rob and his damned mouth, he headed to the closet and pulled out my best—my only—dress and held it out in my direction. “My lady is stunning in her gown.”

I remembered the night I had gotten it—and my katana—all too well. I had been stupid, venturing out into Baltimore on my own to test how well I had healed and get Rob a present. It had resulted in the destruction of a store by feuding dae. When I had been trying the dress on, it hadn’t been studded with precious stones.

I had found it in a fringe department store.

Magic—or the spontaneous eruption of mythical beings into pink powder—did strange things to clothes, including decorating them with gemstones worth more than I was.

I had wanted to find a dress to avoid embarrassing him—and myself—when giving him a present to thank him for all of his help.

In a way, I missed the months I had spent recovering from my close and painful encounter with a skyscraper. The shopping trip resulting in the dress, my katana, and Rob’s dagger, had been the first time I had left my apartment on my own since breaking my ribs and rattling my brain around in my skull.

Rob had found me midway through the chaos, and I was still amazed the dress had survived the store’s demise and his enthusiasm the instant we had made it back to my apartment.

The fact I hadn’t been blamed for the destruction amazed me. It hadn’t been all bad. The dress came with shoes, a purse, and the phone I hadn’t been able to use thanks to my caste.

Rob still wore the dagger I had given him, and with a faint smile of my own, I disarmed him while ignoring the dress he held. “You’ve clearly taken leave of your senses. That dress is far prettier than I am.
