“What do you mean she isn’t coming home by noon?” “Autumn introduced her to a friend of the pack and they are spending the day at the mall and then a spa. I’m not entirely sure what that involves, and I never ask. Just make sure you compliment her on her hair and nails when you see her again. I’m sure at least one of them will be different.” Gabriel smiled. “Will it really be so bad having the afternoon to yourself?” “No. There are things I can do, but then I have to come back here to pick her up whenever she’s done.” “I’ll have someone in my pack drop her by your place when she returns. Then you don’t have to worry about coming to pick her up. Sound all right?” Viper nodded. “That should be fine. As long as they realize she’s off limits.” Gabriel’s lips twitched. “I’ll make sure they know she’s spoken for.” “Then I’m out of here.”
