She giggled and it made his skin crawl. “Do you like to watch, Connor?”
He pretended not to catch the innuendo. “Once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all.”
Walking away quickly before she had a chance to clarify her meaning, he made his way to the tree line with several folded traps. It only took a minute to unfold the first one and another minute to get it set up. Carol caught up to him just as he was finishing.
“No fair!” she pouted, sticking out her lower lip in an unsuccessful impression of girlish pique. “You have to wait for me next time.”
“Sorry about that.”
He opened a can of cat food and set it in the trap.
“Ewww! Do you have to use stuff that stinks so bad?”
“It’s the best way to attract cats, especially from a distance. I’m going to set the next trap over by that tree.”
