“Can I go now?”
“Wait until the plane pulls away from the gate, then you can do whatever you want.”
“I guess I could do that,” Daeng said. “See you when I see you,”
Orlando disconnected the call and put the phone on the nightstand. “You know what I’d love right now?”
He looked over at her. “Paying up on the bet?”
She frowned at him. “Like I’ll ever do that.” She settled back against her pillow. “No. A foot rub.”
“A foot rub? Really?”
She thought for a moment. “That or bacon.”
“Dear God. How long is this going to last?”
Narrowing her eyes, she said, “Why? Is this a problem?”
“No,” he said quickly. “Not at all.” In a burst of faux excitement, he pushed off the bed. “Why don’t I fry up some bacon? You can eat it while I massage your toes.”
“Now there’s a smart man. You’re forgiven.” She raised an eyebrow. “For now.”
