Rory didn't think twice about her stealing the donut. She was just glad that Beaux hadn't noticed her shudder. It was an odd shudder- one that Rory couldn't quite describe. Goosebumps were even on her arms, signalling that something weird had happened. Still, she could blame it on the blasting air conditioners if Beaux asked.

She pushed her bangs out of her face as the air vents blew several strands into her face, and focused her silver eyes on the road, chewing hunks out of the donut every now and then. She didn't notice Beaux's growl, seeing as how the sound of the air vents blowing cool air around her truck cancelled out the low, rumbly noise.

Riding in the truck reminded her of having a dog when she was in the city. It had been a great big bloodhound, with dark eyes, a big nose, and droopy flaps of skin. Sure, the thing had drooled every now and then, but Sybil had been the best dog Rory had ever owned. The poor dear had died of heart worms just before Rory and her parents had moved over to their new home.

Perhaps she should start looking for a new dog. Though, she had wished to keep the wolf that she had found the previous night as a pet. It had acted just like a dog, and she had been able to tell easily that it had taken quite a liking to her. But that dog had disappeared the morning that the guy in the truck with her showed up in her room half naked.

As Beaux mentioned his name, Rory cocked her head to the side slightly. She'd never heard of a man named Beaux. Sure, she'd heard of dogs named Beaux, and even a horse named Beaux, but she'd never met a man with that name. It was odd, interesting, and, though she would never admit it, Rory kind of liked it.

But as he said the second part of his introduction, Rory nearly choked on her donut. She swerved slightly, but didn't veer off of the road. Swallowing the bite of donut that she very nearly inhaled, she took a moment to think of something smart to say- a skill she was quite adept at. Her eyes were half-lidded as she turned to Beaux.

"Well, Beaux, would you like to explain to me why I found you in my room half naked this morning? I could turn you in for trespassing, sexual harassment, breaking and entering, and for the disappearance of that arctic wolf." But yet she didn't... Hurm.
