Andrea, he's all yours
if you're sure."
'Sure?' thought Cade. He'd thought it was a done deal.
"I wasn't absolutely sure before," said Andrea. "I'm sure enough now, I
think. Enough so to deal with him for a week, anyway. Besides, if I have to, I
can always dump him back on you and come back to Atlanta."
With a short laugh, Mandi said, "Oh, no. He's yours. I have to get an
antique missile base ready to receive guests."
She stood up and held out her arms. Andrea got to her feet and Cade did
likewise as she went to Mandi and hugged her.
"What?" asked Mandi, looking at Cade. "I don't get a hug from you, too?"
Going over to her, Cade said, "I just wasn't sure you'd want one from me.
I've been a bit difficult about things."
After she hugged him, Mandi held him at arm's length and met his eyes for a
moment before speaking.
"Ed, I was worried about having made a mistake by converting you right up
until you grabbed a stick and tried to save that woman. You kill people a little
too easily to suit me, but you're just as quick to put yourself in harm's way
for them. We'll work something out, I think.
