  “I have this vision of your room covered in Care Bear paraphernalia, right down to the grumpy bear sheets.”

  “If you start asking to see my were-bear stare, I’m going to eat you.”

  “Aw, don’t be grumpy there, sunshine bear.”

  He shoved me.

  I held up my hands in mock surrender. “I will say this—I was surprised you turned into a grizzly.”

  “What, are you saying that because I’m Mexican? You don’t think a man of my heritage can handle a grizzly bear?”

  “I was just going to say because you’re so short.”

  It went downhill after that. "
