Patrick stared at Kathryn’s door, trying to figure out what had just happened. He had brought her back to lay out his life for her, and she had stormed away before he had even gotten started. What had he said to upset her? He ran both his hands through his hair, ruffling it up. Maybe if he got more blood up there, his brain would work better.

“What did you do?” Daniel asked as he looked from Patrick’s befuddled face to Kathryn’s closed door.

“I have no idea,” he admitted, looking to his friend as if he might explain the inner workings of women to him. “I was going to tell her, but she stormed off before I could.”

Pausing, Daniel considered him. “You love her that much?”

“She plagues my every waking thought and haunts my dreams.” Patrick leaned against his doorjamb, staring at Kathryn’s closed door.

Daniel grinned at him. “And here I thought you were avoiding her.”

“I was,” Patrick snapped, “but you kept sending her to tempt me!” Turning back into his room, he kicked the tray of supplies Kathryn had dropped.

Chuckling, Daniel came in and shut the door. “If I didn’t know better, I would say you were brooding.”

“I haven’t had a brooding in over ten years,” Patrick snapped again. He dropped himself into a chair and glared at Daniel.

“Oh yes, definitely brooding.”

Patrick glared harder at him.

“You’re moody, impulsive, and unpredictable. Love can do that to you.”

“How can I be in love?” Patrick growled. “I’ve only known her for a few days.”

“Instinct, my good man.” Daniel snickered. “Your dragon knows what it wants and will give you trouble until you let your heart follow.”

Patrick let out a deep sigh. “Fine,” he grumbled. There was no way logic would win out against instinct. That had been tried, and it led to some crazed dragons. “So what do I do about her?” He was more than willing to give in, but it was convincing the girl that was turning into an issue.

“That, my friend, is the biggest mystery of all.” Daniel grinned. “Figure out the mind of a woman, and you could be the wealthiest man in the world.”

“What do I do about her?” This time Patrick’s voice held a note of pleading.

Daniel sighed and brushed his fingers through his hair. “Let her calm down for the night,” he offered. “Try again tomorrow.”

“What if she won’t talk to me?”

“Then I’ll talk to her. Just let it be for now. Tend your wound and try to get some rest.” Patrick opened his mouth to protest, but Daniel cut him off with a raised hand. “If you can’t sleep, go take a flight. It will ease you mind and help you work things out.”

Patrick nodded. That was a great idea. Being in scales would clear his rational mind so he could sort through the conflicting emotions. Then tomorrow, with his head on straight, he would face Kathryn and clear up whatever misunderstanding they were having.
