During breakfast, Penelope announced, "I'm going to the office today. It's time I get back to a regular work schedule."

"Fine. But on one condition," he responded.

"What's that?" Penelope asked.

"Ride in my car." Kelvin proposed.

She countered, "I can take the bus."

"Then I suppose I'd have to follow the bus," he said.

With a drawn-out sip of coffee, Kelvin proposed, "Of course, there's a second option."

Curious, Penelope asked, "Which is it?"

"Have Jack drive you," Kelvin suggested.

"You're really setting me up with a shadow bodyguard?" Penelope said.

"Yes. You don't have to worry about him on a daily basis. He'll show up when needed." Kelvin agreed.

Penelope's head was throbbing with worry.

She was pregnant again, and she knew she'd have to leave L.A. soon before her belly made it obvious. She had to get out before anyone noticed.

What about Jack? Was he going to suffer Kelvin's wrath because of her mistakes?

"Just drive," Penelope said with resignation.

Kelvin's lips curled into a sly smile.

As they headed out the door, Penelope reached for her purse, but Kelvin was one step ahead of her.

She gasped in surprise and quickly slung the bag over her shoulder. "What are you doing?" she asked, frustrated.

"Just trying to help you," he said.

Penelope replied, "I can manage on my own."

Kelvin slightly narrowed his eyes. "You seem really tense," he remarked.

"No, I'm not!" Penelope replied, feigning calm. "I just don't like people touching my things."
