“You’re going to take care of the rescued dogs, right? That’s what you do when you go out? Your ‘work’?”
“None of your business.”
“Coil said you’re overloaded. I’m offering an extra set of hands, so you can give the dogs more of the attention they need.”
Hey, that’s not a bad approach.
And I’m all for the idea of maybe getting to see Rachel and Taylor taking care of dogs together!
“Bullshit.”
“Enough,” Brian started to rise, “You need to calm down-”
I put my hand on his shoulder and pushed him down. “I’m fine. Rachel, I’m going to make you a deal.”
A deal?
Her eyes narrowed.
“I thought my last deal was pretty fair, so hear me out?”
“Fine.”
“Let me come along. I’ll help out where I can, we’ll maybe talk, but we won’t talk about Coil, unless you bring it up. In exchange, if I do bring it up, or if I try to manipulate you one way or the other, you get a free shot at me.”
Yeah, this sounds good. It also makes it so that Taylor has a clear, self-imposed incentive to not try to manipulate Rachel, which should soothe the latter a bit. Hopefully.
