Wolf Bait (Perry and Jonas)

Chapter 189

Jonas

Seeing the loft through Perry’s eyes is different from when I first came here on my own. It felt like a cage then, but as she shows me around, I can see that this was definitely the place she came to get away from everything. There’s a level of ease I’ve never seen before and I feel more than honored to have her share this with me. She can’t say three little words, but she can show them.

“Print these in order for me, Kitty,” she calls out as she sets up pink folders in front of several printers and they’re all pink and covered in stickers. The doorbell buzzes and she excuses herself to get what she ordered.

“Real food,” Perry says walking in with several bags.

“Do you need help?” I ask, setting the files back where she had them.

“This is it,” she waves me off and starts putting things away.

She drops a glass jar and without skipping a beat a little robot rolls out from under the cupboard. She picks up pieces but the little thing cleans it up trailing the scent of pine before going back under the cupboard.

“Did you make that?”

“No, It’s one of Mack’s. A prototype she threw out and I picked up to tweak. Cute, huh?”

“Yeah,” I nod.

“Look at you now,” I laugh going over to the shelves.

“I mean someone had to save you, clueless babies,” she shoots back.
