"I'll get the mayor on the phone," Dillon says.
"Tell him he can put his jail anywhere else he wants, but he isn't putting it there," Finn says. "I'll make a hefty donation to his reelection campaign to ease the sting, but that fountain isn't going anywhere."
"Will do." Dillon glances at Aunt Ophelia. "Is this acceptable to you, Ms. Crawford?"
"It will do." She thrusts a hand out in front of her. "Now help a feeble old woman up, will you? I'm overdue for a nap."
"Feeble my ass," Dillon mumbles under his breath. But he helps her up.
Aunt Ophelia pats him on the chest, copping a feel of his muscles. "If I were fifty years younger, and you weren't married…."
Dillon nearly chokes on his tongue.
"Aunt Ophelia!"
She cackles, headed for the doors.
"Sorry," I whisper to Dillon.
He waves me off, blushing bright red.
"I'll call you," Finn mutters to him before wrapping an arm around my waist. We follow Aunt Ophelia out of the Sheriff's Department, neither of us willing to let her get out of sight again.
Once we've got her settled into the passenger seat, Finn backs me up against the side of the car and tips my head back, kissing me long and slow.
"What was that for?" I whisper.
"Because I love you, Scarlett Taylor from Gatsby Books."
"I love you too, super-spy Finn Taylor."
"And because we're putting an ankle monitor on your aunt as soon as we get her back to the nursing home," he says. "Before she costs me another quarter million dollars or gets herself locked up for sexually harassing the sheriff."
"I can't believe she did that!" I say, burying my face in his throat to hide my laughter. It's not funny at all, and yet the look on Dillon's face. Oh my god. I thought he was going to die right there.
"I can," he mutters. "She's a menace."
He's not wrong about that.
"Come on. Let's get her back to the nursing home." He runs his lips across my forehead and then nibbles at my lips. "And then if we have time, I'll show you what I'd do to you if I were fifty years younger and you weren't married."
I throw my head back and laugh loudly.
