Right?
Jade didn’t respond immediately. When she did, she said, “I’m in the middle of something, but I’ll send Abby over there right now. Just hang tight. The wolf won’t hurt you.”
“Okay.” I sighed quietly. “I’m so sorry, but I definitely squished your present.”
My gorgeous cake was definitely not gorgeous now. I didn’t even want to look down and see the damage.
Jade laughed, but there wasn’t much humor in the sound. “That’s the last thing I’m worried about. Just stay right there.”
The call ended.
I was pretty sure she meant to put me on hold, but she definitely hung up.
I stared down at the screen.
The wolf continued nudging me toward the cabin in front of us with his nose. The door was still open.
“Oh, you want me to close it?” I murmured, walking slowly. “Makes sense. No one likes it when bugs get in.”
Every step hurt. I was kind of limping.
I hoped I hadn’t actually broken my tailbone. That would really suck.
“Okay, I’ve got it,” I told him, grabbing the doorknob.
Before I could close the door, he nudged my lower back a little harder.
Yet another squeak escaped me. This one was full of pain.
He wanted me to go inside the house.
Why?
That was weird, right?
Maybe he was trying to abduct me after all.
“You seem angry,” I said. “I don’t think this is a good time to try abduction.”
His side met my back, and he walked me slowly through the door.
Then closed it with his head.
And sat down in front of it.
And glared at me.

EMMY
Well,the werewolf thing was a lot more awkward than I originally thought.
A lot less romantic, too.
I watched the wolf for another minute.
He watched me.
