“Get up.”

As far as morning greetings went, Ivy was expecting more. She wrenched open one eye and glared at the freshly showered man hovering near the side of the bed.

“Are you trying to kill me?”

“Not even remotely,” Jack replied, flashing an impish grin. “That’s the last thing I want. One day you’re going to be my wife. I don’t want a dead wife. I like how that sounds. Wife. Of course, that’s now a day far, far into the future thanks to you … but I have faith it will eventually happen.”

“You suck.” Ivy ripped the pillow out from beneath her head and pressed it to her face. “I can’t believe you’re torturing me this way.”

“It’s kind of fun.” Jack knelt next to the mattress and removed the pillow from her face. “I’m going to take you for breakfast at the diner. I thought you could use a break from cooking and I want to talk to you.”

Ivy flashed a pathetic face. “Oh, I don’t want to be yelled at again.”

“Who said I was going to yell?”

“I don’t want you torturing me again either,” Ivy whined. “It hurts my heart.”

The simple declaration was enough to have Jack rethinking his approach … but only for a moment. “That was very good. I almost fell for it. You’re going to have to do better than that, though.”

“What if I cry?”

“I would prefer you didn’t.” Jack’s hand was gentle as it pushed Ivy’s hair away from her expressive face. On a normal day he found her beautiful. The pronounced pout today made her something otherworldly. “Ivy, I need you to know that I love you. That’s not going to change. You know that, right?”

Ivy considered pushing the situation but ultimately nodded. “I do know that.”

“Good. I also want to punish you for what you did. You ruined my big Christmas surprise.”

Ivy opened her mouth to argue, but Jack cut her off with a firm shake of the head.

“I’m not done, Ivy,” he said. “I love you. You make me very happy … most of the time. You’re going to have to suck this up and deal with it, though. You caused the situation.”

“I think I’m going to cry.”

“Don’t.” Jack wagged his finger. “Get in the shower and get dressed. I’m going to take you to breakfast so we can talk.”

“I don’t want to talk. Whenever we talk I stick my foot in my mouth.”

“That’s why you’re funny.” Jack pressed a kiss to the corner of her mouth. “You still have to get up. We’re not going to talk about us over breakfast – surprise, surprise – because we’re going to talk about the case. Brian texted he has some information that we’ll both probably want to hear.”

“Oh.” Ivy bolted to a sitting position. “Why didn’t you say so?”

“Because I thought it would be more fun to torture you. Now, shower and we’ll head to town. I’ll get you back here in plenty of time to put all of my belongings away. Don’t worry about that.
