“Something you don't understand?I tried to use small words.You know, just in case.”I smiled sweetly.
That wiped the teasing smile off his lips.
“Funny.”
“I thought so.”
“It's cute, though,” Jaxon added, signing the papers and sliding them across the desk.“That you think we can pull this off with zero practice.”
