Jenni had made the mistake of taking a sip of her drink, a lime soda, thinking he was finished and it was safe before the man trotted out that last line. At least the resulting undignified splort might mask the effort she'd been making not to laugh previously.

"Okay, hold on," she said once she'd recovered sufficiently, grinning. "I'm not a criminal behaviorist and you're not a serial killer the last time I checked, but . . . " The whole eating people thing could only lead to an off-color joke. After he'd been trying so hard not to go there, she couldn't very will dive into the gutter herself. She cleared a remnant of soda from her throat. "Sure. What you said. Tit for tat."

. . . Damn.
