On our turf somehow? In a CD or on the radio or . . .” “Because my way gets the ring back to me the fastest,” he explains. “As long as that ring is in somebody else’s hands, anything could happen. It’s not the plan that’s bothering you. You’re upset because I didn’t tell you first.” “You told Alison and then you both went to Rafe, and then, of course, I was the last one to find out,” she pouts. “I had to do it my way,” he asserts. “Don’t tell me that you are jealous of the ring now?” He sits beside her, caressing her face and stroking her hair. |

| “No, no, no, I don’t think so,” she giggles seductively. “I was thinking more like something I could keep,” she purrs, “like some diamonds.” |
