Bab 25: Chapter 25: First Bath, Part 2

"Okay, so what we're going to do is boil the water. You'll have to carry it upstairs to the bathtub."

"You want me to go outside—with the wolves?"

"They won't hurt you. They're well trained."

"I'm not willing to take that chance."

She blinked at him. "Are you planning to stay in the house forever?"

"No." He looked out the window. The big wolf watched him. He always watched him. "I'm hoping that he will go away. And when he returns I will fire a gun the way I saw you do—up in the air … at first."
