“Kellan,” Eli said with a groan.
“What?” he asked. “You didn’t want her to leave, did you? I was helping.”
“You scared her.”
“She’s making a dumb decision.” If someone needed help making the correct decision, then why shouldn’t he use his powers for good?
“I don’t know why I just did what you said, but that isn’t happening again,” she said haughtily.
“We’ll see,” he replied. “Now, Eli is getting in your car with you and the stinky dog. I’ll call ahead to the hotel and get things sorted.”
“But there aren’t any rooms,” she said with exasperation. “How will you get things sorted?”
“I always find a way.”

Ialways find a way.
Was he for real right now?
What kind of arrogant statement was that? He always found a way to get what he wanted?
And now she was left with the bossy one.
Arabella sat in her car with a huff as he sat in the passenger seat. “I’m surprised you’re not insisting on driving.”
“I do prefer to drive,” he said. “We can swap.”
“My car, I drive.”
Eli hummed. “Unless you were mine. Then if my ass was in the car, I would be driving.”
She shot him a look. What the heck? If she was his?
“Lucky I’m not then, huh?”
Yeah except the thought of that isn’t as awful as you are trying to pretend it is. Is it?
She pushed that thought out of her head.
“Lucky? I wouldn’t say that. If you were mine you’d be very, very happy.”
What exactly did he mean?
Horse decided at the moment to poke his head out from the backseat between theirs and . . . fart.
The smell was so bad that her eyes watered and she had to turn on her car so she could lower her window.
Eli was choking as he attempted to lower his window.
“Why won’t mine go down?” he asked.
“It doesn’t work. Here, I’ll turn on the a/c.” She turned the fans toward him and blasted the air into his face.
He wiped his streaming eyes. “There has to be something wrong with that dog. Are you sure he doesn’t need to go to the toilet? That was putrid.”
“Hey, careful, you’ll hurt his feelings. He’s not putrid.”
