“Why didn’t you take my band? And why not try to take it now that I’m healed?” Amusement tilts up the corner of his mouth as he pushes off the tree branch and strides toward me. “That’s another loaded question.” That right dimple deepens. “First of all, you’re not completely healed. Second, why would I pass up the opportunity to work together? You know we make a great team. And third,” he crouches down in front of me so we are eye to eye as he continues, “it’s cute that you said I could try to take your band from you.”
