“You didn’t call me, but youdidgo to Lenny’s, and picked up a hot guy to boot!” she accused.
“Listen, Luna—” I started.
That was as far as I got. She was marching down the hall, bitching me out.
“It’s all over the news. Elsie Fay was found. The bad guy arrested. I’m at home, watching this, waiting for your call, knowing where you were not but hours ago, and?—”
She halted abruptly and sniffed the air.
Then she shouted, “Oh myGod! Did you take a bubble bath with a hot guy you picked up after you saved a little girl from a monster?”
Like Cap and I could both fit in my bath.
Though that might be impossible, it’d be fun to try.
I felt Cap’s eyes on me, so I looked to him and said, “I don’t pick up hot guys all the time.”
With zero hesitation, Luna outed me.
“She totally does.”
I made anEek! face at Cap. Then I shrugged to indicate the veracity of that statement.
After that, I stood transfixed as a smile flirted on his lips.
Wait, with all the rest, I hadn’t noticed his lips.
Dayum.
He had nice lips (or at least the lower one wasfine, the upper one was hidden by the mustache part of his beard).
Okay, generally, the man was good-looking. Scowling, he was also good-looking. Stoic, same.
Smiling, be still my heart.
And it wasn’t even a full smile.
I came to when Luna snapped her fingers in my face. “Earth to Raye, pissed-off best friend in the room.”
“Sorry,” I muttered.
“What? Are you a cop?” she asked Cap.
“No,” he answered.
She swung her head to me, brows raised in a silent demand for an explanation.
“He’s a PI. Elsie Fay’s grandparents hired his firm. He was kinda in on the, um…rescue operation.”
“Rescue operation?” she asked.
Here we go.
“Um…” I didn’t quite answer.
“You told me you were just looking in his windows,” she snapped.
“Well, in one, I saw Elsie Fay.”
