What went on while you two were out of earshot?" he asked Ellie. "Oh, Your Righteousness, you probably don't want to know. What if it makes you an accessory to the crime or something?" He sighed heavily. Impatiently. "Just lay it on me, Ellie." "You sure?" "I'm sure. Come on. You smiled the whole time." "Yeah, that part wasn't so easy. I wanted to smack him just from the look in his eye. I said, I know about you, so don't try anything. My boyfriend is a six-foot-five-inch bouncer in a mean bar and my father is a judge, and if you even exhale within twenty feet of my boobs, I'm going to have your nuts on a platter. And then I'm going to call my boyfriend and my father." Noah was speechless for just a second, but then he burst out laughing. "You didn't!" "Of course I did. I think that's called a preemptive strike. Isn't that what it's called?" "You're out of your mind," he said, laughing in appreciation. "I got that room for a hundred bucks a month. And it's a great room." He shook his head. "You think that threat will hold?" She peered at him, lifting a corner of her mouth and an eyebrow at the same time. "That bouncer? He's a friend. I babysat for him and his wife a couple of times. He'd come out here and scare the bejesus out of that imbecile if I asked him to. But before we even get to that, Mr. Nick has a date with my knee. And I know how to do that." Noah
