“About two hours.”
“Would you be able to come by the offices?”
As much as he wanted to find out the information Nate had, he knew this had been a long day for Ginny and she might not be up to—
“Yes,” she sat up and said loudly before he even finished his thought.
Dax seconded her response, “I guess we’ll see you then, man.”
“All right.”
When the line went dead she adjusted Capone on her lap so she could lean over as far as her seatbelt allowed to rest against Dax as a yawn claimed her. She snuggled against his arm and shoulder and he kept his eyes on the road as he kissed her head and said, “Get some sleep.”
“I don’t want to make you drive while I’m sleeping. I can stay up.”
“I’m fine.”
“No, that’s not fair. You’ve had just as much sleep as I’ve had.”
“I just spent the day with Don, please let me keep a scrap of my manhood.”
She giggled. “Well, since you put it like that.”
She nuzzled back against him and it wasn’t long until her breathing slowed and her body relaxed. He glanced over at his dog and the girl that owned him and his chest tightened from the amount of love that he was storing in there.
The day had been perfect, one he’d never forget for the rest of his life and he knew that Ginny wouldn’t either. He was just starting to get choked up at how lucky he’d been to be able to be with Ginny today when a thick stench filled the small area and he tried to gag quietly as he pushed the lever down to crack the window in order to get some fresh air.
Now his eyes were watering for a completely different reason.
