As Millie takes the chocolate jet from him (and it seems like she's pretty damn gleeful about it, too), he reaches into the bag one more time and comes out with a book. "Hey, check this out."
He's never seen it before, but he likes the title. He opens it to the first page where a kid in a wolf suit (hey, maybe Millie will like this, she turns into a wolf) is nailing something up in his room; he's got a huge scowl on his face. Spike starts to read, just loud enough so Millie and Wade and Beth can hear him:
"The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind..."
He turns the page; Max is chasing a dog now (hey! smart kid)
"...and another..."
Millie giggles.
"...his mother called him 'WILD THING!' and Max said 'I'LL EAT YOU UP' so he was sent to bed without eating anything."
He can feel Millie relaxing against him; Spike glances up at Beth, Wade in her arms but about to start floating again, and he winks at her.
Even though Max looks pretty damn pissed off back on the printed page, Spike likes the story so far.
