Morehouse allowed Raj into his home after making his daughter cry, a slightly bigger one that he let him go up to her room unannounced. The dozen roses, heart-shaped box of chocolates, and giant stuffed monkey must have granted him safe passage into the House of More. The sight of Raj balancing the gifts in his arms was ridiculous and endearing… or would have been if he hadn’t kissed Gray the day before. Talk about allowing a Trojan horse right through the gates. Lee let Raj come in, but only so she could scold him in private before sending him packing. She gestured to the gifts in Raj’s arms and made a sound of disgust. “I can’t be as easily bribed as my parental unit.” Raj set the load down on her bed and faced her. His gaze was intense. Lee looked away momentarily, then right back after reminding herself she wasn’t the one who should be avoiding eye contact. “You’re right,” Raj said. “That stuff was a decoy. I have your real present right here.” He placed his hand on his heart.
