He’s my favorite person.
And I know life with him might not always be easy, but it will be fun and we’ll make it through anything, as long as we have each other.

An hour later,we’re drying off in the bathroom when my phone rings again in the living room where I left it after our dry humping… wet humping? What do you call it when you come from all the humping?
Those thoughts disappear when I see my boss’s name flash on my screen.
“Hey, George.”
Mack walks into the living room, wearing nothing but a towel. His eyebrows raise, silently asking what this call is about. Surely George isn’t already calling back about our conversation from earlier. He’s persistent, but not that persistent. And I already told him I’d think about it and talk to him on Monday.
“I need you to meet Brian at the station and get down to the courthouse.”
My heart starts to race in anticipation.
I don’t normally get calls like this from George, but if he’s calling me to report on something at the courthouse on my day off, it’s got to be important. And that’s exactly the kind of stories I’ve always dreamed of getting.
“Okay,” I tell him, running back to the bedroom. “Can you give me a heads up about what we’re walking into? Anything I should know before I get there?”
I’m already tossing a blouse and skirt onto the bed when Mack walks backs into the bedroom, still looking puzzled.
“Warner Callahan has been arrested. I know you have a personal connection to the family, so if you think you can’t do it and be unbiased, tell me now.”
My eyes grow wide, but I remain calm when I say, “I can do it. I’ll be there.”
When the call ends, I drop my phone to the bed. “Holy shit.”
“What?” Mack asks. “Is everything okay?”
“Sophie’s dad was just arrested and George is giving me the story.”
