She made fun of him. "Is this why you're calling me? I mean, did you callto chat withor my new researcher? Should I just give Allen's number to you so you could have salone time?" Ivor explained hurriedly, "I called you to chat with you, Bonnie." "Really?" A hint of mischief flashed in her eyes. "So, why do I feel like you spent more tchatting with Allen?" "Well, that's because you rarely tellabout what's going on in your life. So, I have to ask other people how you've been doing." Ivor made up a great excuse for him to keep probing around. He was lying with a straight face.

Letting out a sigh of relief internally, she said, "Is this the part where you're trying to soothe me? Shouldn't you have done this earlier?" He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
Bonnie was aware she shouldn't press further, so she dropped the matter and said something else, "How did it a Nit go with your m collaboration? What tdo you think you'll return to Pyralis?"
Ivor's lips curled into a grin as affection filled his eyes. "What's the matter? Are you missing Are youalready? Would you please cut it with that crap? Why can't you just answer my question?" 'I need to know when he's going back to Pyralis, so I can speed things up with Billy and fly back hbefore he does.
'With that said, I've been away from Ivor for such a long tnow. I do da miss him a little. I'd being if I said I a little didn't look forward to wrapping up the stuff about the chip and reuniting with him.
