ongoing battle between them.
"You're a big boy, Seth. You can wax her all by yourself, but you're not going to
con me into it. Have one of the guys come over and help you. I know for a fact Garth
would love to get his hands on her.”
"Like hell he will," he growled in a good-natured tone. "Come give me a hug
before you go, shrimp."
Laughing, she stepped close enough to give him a one-armed hug but she wasn't

him. Immediately, he went after her.
