âWHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?â
Once Jake left and I was preparing to head to work, Eliot stopped me in the garage.
âWhat makes you think Iâm going to do anything?â I tried to appear innocent, something I rarely pulled off ... and never with Eliot.
He shot me a stern look. âWe share the same bed. I hear you muttering about who youâre going to get revenge on in your sleep. I know you.â
âThat doesnât mean Iâm up to something.â
âI didnât say you were up to something. I asked what you were going to do.â
I was mildly embarrassed at the slip-up. âI donât know yet. I need to think.â
He wagged his finger in my face. âThe fact that you heard âWhat are you up toâ in your head means you are up to something. I saw the moment you made up your mind at the breakfast table. Tell me.â
I made a face. âDo you know what sucks the most about living with a guy who thinks he knows everything?â
âThat he has to be fast because he lives with a woman who believes she does know everything?â
âI donât know everything.â
Eliot folded his arms across his chest and waited. He wasnât going to sit back and watch me leave, a smile on his face, without getting whatever information he believed I was withholding.
I blew out a sigh. âI only know seventy-five percent of things,â I said. âIâm not good at math ... and science ... and sometimes history.â
âAvery.â His tone told me he wasnât messing around. âIf youâre meandering this much it means youâre going to do something annoying. Just tell me so we can get it over with.â
âFine.â He would find out eventually. âIâm going to Tad.â
Instead of cursing, or telling me I was an idiot, Eliotâs forehead creased with contemplation. âHmm.â
âThatâs it?â I couldnât help being a little disappointed. âNo meltdown?â
âI donât melt down.â
âThatâs like saying Iâm not up to something.â
âNot really.â He shook his head and then exhaled heavily. âItâs not a terrible idea,â he said.
âThatâs not saying itâs a good idea,â I pointed out.
âI donât know that I believe itâs a good idea.â He hesitated and then barreled forward. âSpending time with Ludington does not improve your mental health.â
I balked. âIâm not crazy.â
âNot always, but occasionally. Plus, I donât think youâre supposed to use that word. Itâs derogatory.â
âYes, well, Iâm still not crazy.â
âLudington makes you crazy. He knows how to push your buttons.â
I was insulted. âI know how to push his buttons.â
âYou certainly know how to push his buttons,â he agreed. âBut he can do the same to you. Itâs an unhealthy relationship.â
âIâm better than him.â
âOf course you are.â Eliot leaned forward and pressed a kiss to my forehead. âTell me what this profiler thinks. I expect youâll hate this dude on sight.â
âWhy do you think Iâll hate him?â I was honestly curious. âDo you know something about him?â
âOnly what Iâve seen on television. He seems ... capable.â
There was something he wasnât telling me. âWhat do you know?â
âI donât know anything,â he insisted.
