Page 31 of Rhubarb 2 Go

“I ain’t sitting with Glass for eight hours.Nope, not happening.Nope.”

The doorbell rang, and everyone looked at the door before we all looked at Apollo.“Then you can tell him.”On that, Maximus nodded to the rest of us.“You guys, let's give them some space.”

We all trooped out of the room.“Do you think that will work?”Randy whispered to Burke.

He shrugged.“Who knows?I’ve never known Apollo to be as bull-headed as me,” he whisper-shouted.

“Shush,” Maximus murmured as we entered the kitchen before he shut the door.“Let’s give them time to figure it out.”

We’d set the monitors up in the upstairs attic after clearing it out, as it was the only empty room in the pride house.We’d all be taking turns with a rhubarb to watch the monitors.

Just the thought of it was boring, unless a stalk had his ballsy-bull sitting on his lap.I cheered up at that.Hours of being alone with my bull?That wasn’t so bad.Maybe Glass could persuade Apollo to sit on his lap, that might make them a little less grumpy.

Talking about sitting on your lap…

I grinned and took hold of my ballsy-bulls hand.Whatever my baby wants.

Oh, ice cream with pickles… or pickles ice cream.He looked expectantly at me, his big brown eyes begging.Do you think they’ll have that in town?

Wasn’t he just the cutest?I gave him a lip-smacking kiss.Let’s go find out.
