"What do you have in the bag?" Connor asked.

"Oh, this is just a .  .  .  a dog bed." She plunged botb arms into the bag, giving him a heart-stopping look at her cleavage.

He held the bottom of the bag while she tugged.  It came out with a whooshy slide.  He guessed it was a quilt, or a comforter.

"That's no dog bed," he said.

"Are you refusing to take my word on it?"

"I don't see a single dog hair on it anywhere."

"Hmm.  You might be right.  I might've brought the comforter from my bed instead of Fergie's."

So it was a comforter.  And it had most likely come from Shelly's bed.

"Maybe I'd better take it into the dining room and spread it out on the floor so I can inspect it."

She left him sitting there and walked with the comforter into the dining room.

Shelby.  Dark empty room.  Puffy soft bed thing spread all over the floor.

He was after her like a shot.
