His Eagle Eyes on Me

Mike burst out laughing. "It's probably the same concept as polishing a shoe."

"Dyeing someone's hair is definitely going to be more difficult than that," Chad said. "But Avery is a smart woman so she should be alright as long as she followed the instructions."

Elliot shuddered.

"Mom, why don't you just take Dad to a salon? Your hands might get dirty," Hayden suggested.

Hayden had always been skillful with his words when he wanted to be. He was concerned that Avery would fail but simply said that he did not want Avery to get her hands dirty.

"Your mom wants to do it for your dad. Don't you know what this is?" Mike threw his arm around Hayden's shoulders and said, "It's called 'spicing things up'. You don't have a girlfriend, so you won't understand."

Hayden responded to his sarcasm with silence.

"It's getting late, so Chad and I will leave now," Mike blurted out before Hayden had the chance to retort.

Avery saw them out the door and returned to the house before asking Hayden, "Are you staying the night here or are you going back to your place?"

"Here."

Avery nodded and whispered, "Is there really no girl that you are interested in at all?"

Avery rarely pried when it came to Hayden's romantic life and only asked about it because Mike mentioned it.
