“Are we going to your place?”
“Emily, if I had my way, you’d never leave my side. I just don’t want to scare you.”
“I’m not scared.” Wow. That felt good to say, and mean, for once.
“Good. Let’s go. When we get home, we need to talk a bit more.”
Emily was still a little gaga over his use of the word “home” when she replied, “Hmm?”
He chuckled softly. “Time for you to know my secrets as well.”
