I ended the call and looked up. Rango was still waiting, looking nearly as disturbed as I felt.

He gave a nod so vigorous, I was surprised he didn't break something.

I shut the car door behind me, locked it with the remote, and hustled toward the restaurant, leaving Rango staring after me.

I know, because I looked.

So much for my newfound self-control.
