“It’s exhausting.” She sank into my touch.
“Then let’s cook instead.”
She touched my arm. “Don’t make me regret this weekend.”

“You’re having fun.”
“Let’s not get carried away.”
I grinned. “It’s better than whatever you didn’t have planned this weekend.”
Her lips twitched. “Maybe.”

“Are you going to sleep in here?”
He didn’t seem interested in any other room in this house—or any other house—besides the laundry room.

I pressed my palms into the edge of the washing machine. “Oh no no no. Your game, you go first.”
“It’s our game.”
Our.

“Maybe we should just talk about the case.” I hated the slight tremble in my voice.
“Is that what you want?”
No. Yes. I didn’t know.
That topic was safer than personal ones. What if I discovered another side of Kane? One I liked.
