“How about tomorrow?” said Hunter, just as Ash came up to them.
“What’s tomorrow?” Ash said, still distractedly looking at the police reports.
“We’re gonna take her out and show her a good time,” Hunter said. He sounded almost too casual now.
Right away, Cora noticed Ash’s jaw tighten, just a hint.
But then he looked at Cora again, and the tightness went out of his face.
“What are we gonna do?” Ash asked.
“I’ll think about it,” Hunter said. “Make sure it’s something really good.”
“Sounds great,” said Cora. She couldn’t think of anything else to say, even though she knew she sounded dumb. “Can’t wait!”
“Well, is there anything else?” Ash asked. He sounded like he was trying to regain his professionalism, which couldn’t have been the easiest task, given that his mate had just asked her out.
Tell them, Cora thought. Tell them about your stalker.
Then she thought, there was no note. It wasn’t him.
Still, she felt uneasy.
“I don’t think so,” she said.
Ash nodded curtly. Cora could tell he didn’t approve of this blending of his professional and personal lives, but he was trying to keep it under wraps.
It’s kind of cute, she thought.
“Pick you up at eight?” Hunter said, standing up straight.
“Sounds perfect,” Cora said.
Then the two of them walked back to Ash’s police cruiser. Cora watched them the whole way, appreciating the view.
