“Thank you.”
“Want to go for breakfast?”
Sean. She glanced at her watch. It was already after ten. “I have plans,” she said.
“Oh, maybe a rain check then—” Something over her shoulder caught Cody’s attention and he straightened into his alpha cop stance.
She looked behind her and saw Sean walking toward them. Her heart quickened when he caught her eye and smiled.
“You didn’t tell me you were seeing someone,” Cody said, his voice hard, as if she were cheating on him.
“I’m not,” she said automatically.
“You were with him last night.”
Cody didn’t believe her. She wasn’t sure if she believed herself, either. “I mean, it’s not serious.” Yet. “We’re just…” Why did she have to explain anything to her ex-boyfriend?
Sean came up to them, putting his hand on Lucy’s back. “Officer Lorenzo,” he said in greeting.
“Rogan.” He said to Lucy, “I’ll call you if I learn anything.” Then he left.
“Did I say something?” Sean asked.
Lucy shook her head. “He’s my ex-boyfriend.”
“How long ago?”
“Over a year. Sorry—I don’t know why he’s acting so strange.”
Sean raised his eyebrow. “You really don’t know?”
“Know what?”
“He’s still in love with you.”
She shook her head and looked toward where Cody had walked out, but he was gone. “I don’t think so.” Was he? No, she didn’t think so. Maybe.
“Luce, I’m a guy, I can tell.” He kissed her lightly on the lips. “Tell me he doesn’t have a chance of getting you back.”
She let Sean’s words sink in, her eyes widening. “He doesn’t.”
“Good.” He kissed her again. “You look tired.”
“I didn’t sleep well.”
“Hungry?”
“I could eat.”
“You’ll need the energy for what I have planned.”
“What is that?”
“It’s a surprise.” He took her hand. “Let’s go.”
“You’re going to burn out,” Noah said to Kate when he walked into the computer room at Quantico at noon on Sunday.
She shot him a glare that might be described as the evil eye. “You’re here.”
