“Jared,” she said, putting her fork down on the plate, which was still three-quarters full of food.

“Yes?” he asked, looking down at his clump of gruel as well.

“We need—”

“Actual food,” he finished for her.

“So badly,” she said with a sigh, pushing the dish away from her. “I can’t subsist on this canned stuff anymore.”

He eyeballed his plate, then shoved it into the middle of the table as well. “Agreed. I’d rather fight a truck full of Agents than force another mouthful of this down.” He mimicked the actions of throwing up to ensure his point was crystal clear. “But it’s light out.”

She nodded. “It’s early though. We’ll put on ball caps, like you wanted, and just go quickly.”

“I don’t know,” he said with a frown. His eyes drifted back to the plate. “Ugh.”

Nadia knew she was going to win. It was just a matter of convincing him a little more. The prospect of danger made her feel a little more alive, which was not good, she knew, but it couldn’t be helped. She would go crazy having to continue to eat such crap.

“I kind of stand out like a sore thumb though,” he said.

“There has to be a way to make you less visible to the public,” she said thoughtfully.

He laughed. “Nadia, I’m over six and a half feet tall, and rather muscular. I don’t exactly scream subtle.”

A giggle slipped through her lips before she could press them closed. “True, but there are ways to make people focus on you less, thus allowing you to seem more inconspicuous.”

The shifter arched an eyebrow at her. His facial expression made it clear he didn’t believe a word she was saying.

“I’m serious!” she protested. “Here’s what we’re going to do. You and I are going to walk to the store as a couple very much in love. Holding hands, close proximity, all that. People tend to look away from public displays of affection like that, out of an innate sense of wanting to give privacy to the couple. It’s a natural instinct. It will help you hide in plain sight, trust me.”

His jaw slowly fell open. “You’re joking, right?”

Nadia shook her head.

“A super-affectionate married couple?” he asked slowly.

She nodded.

“This is just your excuse to be able to feel my muscles, isn’t it?” he asked with a resigned sigh.

“Busted,” she said with a laugh, standing up from the table.

Jared followed suit on his side, still shaking his head. “I can’t believe I’m letting you talk me into this. This is ridiculous.”

But he didn’t pause as they tossed the remnants of their “breakfast” into the garbage and headed for the door. She flicked her hair half in his direction as she grabbed one of the ball caps hanging next to the door, then proceeded to tuck her hair up under it.

“Come on dear,” she said, teasing him.

“Yes honey, I’ll be right along.” He walked back into the storage room for a moment, and she heard him rustling with something.

“What are you doing?”

“Something to pay for it with,” he said, holding up some money he had found somewhere.
