She could only shake her head, humiliation heating the skin of her face. “If you guys will excuse me, I think I’ll go into the bathroom and stay there until I die.”

Fighting a grin, David asked, “Could I have my tie back?”

She shot him a murderous look, yanked the tie from its intimate captivity and tossed it at him.

Adjusting it about his neck, he offered, “I’ll send you in a little leek-and-spinach soup from time to time.”

“That ought to finish me off,” she mumbled, slinking miserably away.

When the door to the bathroom clattered shut, the men eyed each other for a long, silent moment. All the humor vanished from David’s expression, his lustrous silver eyes going leaden.

The crimson color of Paul’s face didn’t diminish, but his anxiety-riddled frown deepened. “Well, Baron,” he began haltingly, “I suppose you want to punch me.” Swallowing hard, he groused, “Okay, man, I’ll fight you for her.”

David pursed his lips. His eyes, now cool and distant, raked Paul’s stocky body and worried face. After a palpable moment, when David decided the younger man might have a stroke if he didn’t say something, he asked, “Which would you prefer, Page, pistols at fifty paces—or, perhaps, tuna-and-bean salad in tomato shells?”

Paul had opened his mouth, but no words came when David’s question sank in. He stood there, his lips gaping in shock.

“Well?” David prodded, his tone sardonic.

Paul’s lips opened in a weak smile. “Uh—salad—I guess. Thanks, man.”
