I jumped up and grabbed the taxidermied marmot I'd seen on a side table and took a couple of running steps and beaned Harry with it. I hit him as hard...as I could. I mean I put everything I had into it. I was lucky, so was Harry, this thing was stuffed with rags and cotton and it wasn't very heavy. Not much of a weapon and of course it exploded, pieces all over the floor. It didn't faze Harry.It didn't faze him, and god help me I got what I wanted. Harry turned and threw me down on the carpeted. What should she be disappointed about? They had him.

She said a lot of ugly things and then threatened to sue me for every penny I was worth.”“Wow.”“I stayed as calm as I could and told her that she couldn’t love me if she were planning on trying to ruin me. Then I told her that my attorney would be there tomorrow to collect her keys. I changed my access codes and passwords on the ride here from the restaurant.”“That was smart.”Mac ran a hand through.
