Chapter 13
“It’s getting a bit chilly out here,” I said. “Why don’t you come inside and warm me up.”
“Race you.”
“One of us has to lock up, so no race.”
“If we both do it, it’ll take less time.”
We secured the house, turned off the lights, checked the status of our guest, and went to bed. The emotional excitement of the day carried over into our lovemaking, which was lengthy and more intense than usual.

I WOKE UP EARLY Sunday morning to find a pair of blue eyes staring at me intently—Robbie was sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing the T-shirt. Thor was curled up beside him on the corner of the bed.
“Good morning,” I said. “Remember me?”
“George,” he said.
“That’s right. We washed and dried your clothes last night, and they’re on the dresser in your room.”
“Okay.”
“Did you find the bathroom?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“Okay. Let me pull some clothes on, and then we’ll see about getting you dressed and making breakfast.”
