“Wow. I don’t even have a passport. And you’ve got—”
Delaney put his hand over his mouth.
Tag nodded. “Sorry,” he whispered.
“I’d tell you to think before you opened your mouth, but I’m not sure you can.”
And even though that was true, and Tag had admitted it, he was still hurt.
“I do like your mouth,” Delaney whispered. “And not just your mouth.”
Tag forgave him.
“When we get off the train, we’re not going to be able to avoid every camera. If you go looking for them and turn away when you spot one, it’s a giveaway. Best thing to do is to keep your head down. I don’t think anyone will be looking foryou, but better to play safe.”
“But they might be looking for you?”
Delaney shrugged.
“Is it because you’re hotter than me?”
“Definitely.”
Tag grinned. “Where are we going to meet up?” Then his smile slipped.Are you even going to meet me?
Delaney took a phone from his backpack, and handed it to him. “Just my number in this. So we know communication is secure.”
“Unless someone has a gun to my head.”
“That’s true. If you’re under duress and asked to phone me, call me Del and I’ll know you’re in trouble.”
“And not come to rescue me?”
“I’ll come but I’ll know what I’m heading into.”
“And what are you going to call me if you’re in trouble?” Tag asked.
“Baby?”
That made Tag laugh. “Do I have to call you Del? Can I call you Daddy?”
“No.”
“Donkey Kong?”
“Del will be sufficiently irritating.”
“What else irritates you?”
Delaney sighed. “You’re expecting me to supply you with ammunition?”
Tag put a hurt look on his face. “Maybe I just want to know what not to do, how to make you smile and not frown. It’s like frown is your default setting.”
“You’ve made me smile more than I have in a long while.”
And didn’t that warm Tag’s heart.
Delaney looked around, then slid a wad of cash into Tag’s backpack.
