He nestles against the back of the couch, making himself more comfortable. “I told you the first time we met—I want to know what goes on behind those bunny eyes.”

“Fine,” I concede. “But I still think you’ll find it boring.”
“Trust me, bunny.” His good arm crosses my chest, locking me to his side. “I could use a little boring in my life right about now.”
He sounds so genuinely eager it unnerves me.
A man begging for some hint of boring normalcy.
While I’m running from it.
