She snuggled up into my arms and put her little cupid bow lips next to my ear.“Care for some company tonight, Attorney McGuinn?” she purred.Oh, he...ll yeah, I did! I was up in a flash with her still in my arms. She was so small and light, I was able to almost sprint through the dining room, and out the kitchen door with her.
