“No?”
“No, I’m good,” she said, shooting him a sweet smile.

“I had a craving for pie,” she said with another shrug as she settled back in her seat.
He pulled to a stop at the light and for a moment he could only stare at her in wonder. “You did all that for pie?”

“You are a dangerous woman, Mrs. O’Neil.”
“And don’t you forget it, Mr. O’Neil," she said teasingly.
“Or what?” he asked, raising their entwined hands so that he could press a kiss to the back of her hand.
“Or I’ll go for my pliers,” she promised, making him smile, because he knew damn well that she would. She didn’t take any of his shit, drove him out of his mind and he loved every single minute of it.
