CONOR
“Where are you taking me?”
When she laughed, relief filled me.
It was genuine this time. Happy. Free from the sorrow of grief that had plagued her since our return flight to the US.
Not even vetting Anton’s list of officers for the Interpol department or getting some tossed off the team had cheered her up.
I’d known I had to do something when hot chocolate hadn’t worked and neither had us cracking Muñoz's phone with Maverick’s worm and shooting over the first few clusters of file drops to the new Interpol department.
'Doing something' had involved asking Dead To Me for advice. I'd made several mental notes not to do so in the future.
Still, I'd come up with the idea of another date night and had been happy when she'd grown excited by the notion and had offered to organize it.
“You know full well where we’re heading,” she teased.
“I mean, I can read the road signs like anyone but I’m not sure why we’re heading to the New York Saturns’ stadium.”
“Because there’s a game tonight.”
“Why didn’t we bring Katina?”
“It’s a school night.”
“So?”
“So, this is for us. Before I bring her…” She hesitated. Swallowed. “…home this weekend.”
I could forgive her anything when she called my apartment home.
Grinning at her, I said, “That looked painful to say.”
“It wasn’t,” she denied with a snort. “Just, I haven’t had a home for a long time and it’s only home because you’re in it.”
I whistled under my breath. “Jesus, are you trying to lead up to telling me you broke my rig or something?”
This time, she outright laughed as she shoved my knee with her hand. “No, dumbass. I’m being nice.”
“It’s weird. Stop it.”
Her lips were still curved wide though. “I’m going to drown you in mush tonight.”
