He blew out his breath as a sigh of relief. "About time."
"Are we still waiting out the week?"
"Yeah." He paused. "But I'm not opposed to engaging in the loophole, though."
"What looph—" I paused. "Oh."
"Come on in the shower," he said, "and we'll get the sweat off of you and the dust off of me. But no touching."
"Okay," I said. "Just like when we first met."
He grinned.
