STAY THE NIGHT (The Phillips Family Book 1) (42 page)

    
“
I'd love to go to Hawaii, but that's so far for her to be alone in the baggage compartment.
”

    
“
I'll charter a plane.  She can ride with us and have the run of the place.
”

     Angel said,
“
Let's go for a walk.  We'll take Cotton with us.
”

     Cray laughed. 
“
It's dark outside and it's raining.
”

    
“
You'll protect me and I'll carry Cotton in the zippered satchel with air holes you bought.  Rain?  Who cares?  We won't melt.
”

      As they left the elevator in the lobby and pushed through the glass doors, Angel said, 
“
We won't walk far.  We don't want to get too tired.  As Jackie said, it's time to reconnect and that will start tonight.
”

     Cray hugged her closer and said,
“
Where do we stash Cotton, so we have our privacy?
”

    
“
She can stay in our room if she wants.  She can't talk to tell anyone what she sees.
”

    
“
She's so young to be exposed to adult activities.
”

    
“
Since she's going to live with us, she's got to get used to adult activities and I suggest we break her in within the next hour.
”

     
“
I adore you, Angel.
”

    
“
I adore you more.  This is a dumb idea walking in the rain.  Let's go home and shed these damp clothes.
”
