Michael nodded and stuffed his hands into his pockets.
“So she wasn’t kidding about you not talking,” Griffin said, coming into the room with Michael’s big army-green duffel bag over his shoulder. Michael nearly buckled under the weight of it but Griffin carried it like a backpack.
“Sorry,” Michael said. Earlier he’d been able to squeak out a hello to Griffin before they both got distracted at the sight of Nora kissing his driver.
“Better. ” Griffin nodded his approval. “One word is better than no words. ”
Michael tried to think of something to say, something a rich, handsome guy like Griffin would want to hear from him. He came up blank.
“Where do you want your stuff?” Griffin asked.
“Anywhere,” Michael said. Griffin gave him a stern look.
“You give me more than one word or I’m keeping your stuff,” Griffin warned.
“On the bed?” Michael offered.
Griffin held up one hand and ticked off something on his finger. “That’s five words total. Fabulous. ”
Michael laughed and blushed a little. He held up his own hand and ticked off two fingers.
