If he wanted to walk around naked, he could. Salem would just move somewhere else.

Like Antarctica.

As he strode up the stairs, he wondered if he should head to the club tonight.

He needed a way to get rid of this tension that didn’t involve murdering a naked Russian.

Go for a walk?

What was he supposed to do on this walk?

Roman glanced around in confusion as he reached a park and started walking through it. Pausing, he got his phone out to message Salem.

Roman:I really don’t understand the point of this. What am I supposed to do on this walk?

It was really quite boring.And unproductive. And he was starting to think that he should have researched rickets before he’d left the house.

Would Salem lie to him?

Salem:You take in your surroundings, you get some Vitamin D. You breathe.

Breathe?

Was that some sort of joke?

This was ridiculous!

He could have breathed at home in the safety of his own room. And taken some vitamin D tablets. All without these . . . these strangers staring at him. In fact, he was pretty certain someone was watching him right now.

Roman glanced to his right. There he was now. A blond with messy clothes and short hair staring straight at him.

Roman glared back.

And then his mother came and picked him up, setting him on her hip and giving Roman a strange look.

Ahh. Right.

You aren’t supposed to glare at children.

He remembered Salem telling him that. But he’d forgotten.

In his defense Salem told him a lot of things. Most of them, Roman cared little about so he pushed them to the back of his brain and brought them out as needed.

“Wow, you really don’t like children, huh?” an amused voice said from behind him.

He spun to see the most gorgeous woman standing there. She had curious-colored hair. It was a mix of red, blond, and brown. She was wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses that hid most of her face.

Her plump, pink lips were curved up into a small smile. His gaze moved downward over her oversized black T-shirt and black pants. Was she warm? Why wasn’t she wearing any color?

Why do you care?

She’s a stranger that came up to talk to you at a park.

Suddenly, she rolled back and forth, and he glanced down further to find that she was wearing roller skates.

Hmm. That was unexpected.
