Nearly three hours after they’d driven away from the house, he parked beside her car.

“I didn’t know how much I needed this. You did.”

“Everybody needs a break.”

“The lamp’s on in my bedroom,” she noted as she got out of the car.

“I’ll go up and check.”

“No need, really. My … chambermaid? I don’t know what to call her. I assume her. She does that every night when she turns down the bed, puts the fire on. And from the sound of it, the dogs are on guard.”

The barking stopped the minute she opened the door. Both dogs greeted them as if they’d been separated for months.

“I’ll walk them around.”

“I could use the walk, too.” Instead of getting the leash, Sonya pointed at Yoda. “I’m trusting you to stick to the program.”

“Thanks, for every bit of this,” she said when they walked back to the door. “Please don’t expect anywhere near the same level of cuisine on Friday.”

“We’re looking forward to it. All of us. Call,” he insisted. “Anytime. No bullshit on that, Sonya.”
