He was done examining his head, he decided, and what had gone wrong that day. The expression on Dani’s face was all caring. He didn’t want her pity.
He swept her up into his arms and dashed for the water.
“If you don’t want ice cream, you should at least have that swim you came here for.”
He tossed her gently, and all that control and sleek elegance vanished as she broke the surface of the water and then shot back up with a loud shriek, arms flailing. He let her call out while he dived in and got his arms around her, steadying her. Yeah. This was a lot better than pity.
She quickly shoved away from him, slogging toward the shore.
“Next time,” she hollered back, “I’ll opt for the ice cream.”
