already thought it all through.
Nicky took a deep and very heavy breath.
After a long time, she grinned. "We're both partners. Why fight for this woman? | won't make things difficult for

reached my ears.

Theo probably did not want to argue withafter a busy day, so he just shook his head. "This woman has quite
the temper. If you don't like her, replace her."
