She waited until the shifter had walked away, throwing uneasy glances over his shoulder. His eyes lingered on her for a second, but she ignored that. Swinging her legs off the bench, she eyed Victor, hands braced on either side of her knees.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTake me home, hmm? I like how you didn\u2019t ask if that was what I wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor whirled around and faced her. \u201cI-you\u2019ve never showed any interest in my job, let alone a want t\u2019 join me.\u201d He sat back down and ran his fingers through his hair. \u201cI never wanted to drag you into my work love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer gave an uneasy shrug. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to intrude. But from the sound of it, you shouldn\u2019t be doing this alone. If this Jeremiah makes even you afraid \u2014 \u201d She shrugged again. \u201cDo you have someone you usually call for backup?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cMe an\u2019 him got into it a while back, an\u2019 right now, putting us anywhere near each other is guaranteeing one of us won\u2019t come back alive.\u201d Victor sighed, looked around, then sat down. \u201cI don\u2019t usually work with other people because I usually can\u2019t trust \u2018em.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Summer put her hands over her face. \u201cLet me get this straight. You would have taken this job if I hadn\u2019t happened to be here with you, wouldn\u2019t you? And I wouldn\u2019t\u2019ve known anything about it \u2014 except you might not have come back.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Victor was suddenly flustered, \u201cI-well\u2026I mean, I would\u2019ve told you I had a job, y\u2019know? I guess I\u2019m just sort of used to going solo on jobs, no matter how dangerous it is.\u201d He turned so that he was facing her a bit more. \u201cIf you really want to come\u2026.I\u2019d worry something would happen, but I won\u2019t stop you, love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still muffled, she shook her head a little bit. “That’s not even the point. The point is that you might die, on one of these jobs, and I know almost nothing. You mostly just … vanish. And, you know, if you’re claiming me, then I have a right to be worried. Or maybe not, because neither of us has any real measure at all of the other one’s combat ability.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
