“Well then, that’s out of the way. How’s your stomach doing? Better? Feel like lunch?”
Emma eyed him warily for a moment. “No,” she said. “But I suppose if I’ll be having houseguests I’d better call the grocery store.”
“Already taken care of. My housekeeper will be here later with provisions. And I’ll make a deal with you.”
“What?”
“I’ll cook if you scratch on demand.”
“If I what?” she asked.
“The scar. It itches and you have long fingernails.”
There was another pause, but this time Anthony could see what she was thinking. Having houseguests was one thing. Touching him was another. They both knew they were in trouble under the enforced proximity. It only remained to be seen which one of them would slip first.
“Are you supposed to be scratching?” she asked.
“Probably not. But the deal stands.”
“Fine.”
“All right. Why don’t you come upstairs for a while, anyway? I can scare up lunch and tell you what the FBI’s been up to.”
“I can’t. When they keep pulling people off the floor we’re short of help.”
“You’re also short of customers. Look, I know this is awkward, but I promise no mischief if you promise not to flirt.”
“Excuse me?” Emma exclaimed indignantly.
“I’m only teasing. Lighten up.”
“Easy for you to say,” she muttered. “You don’t have to watch your back every—”
Anthony laughed out loud at the horrified look on her face.
“What’s so funny?” she chirped, then smiled sheepishly. “Man, talk about putting your foot in your mouth. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I think that’s the first time I’ve laughed in weeks.”
They started up the stairs, Emma’s expression sour. “You must be pretty desperate if you’re laughing at that.”
