I scoffed. “It’s a unicorn. I figured you’d like unicorns.”
She flicked a finger at my creation. “Oh, is that what that is? I thought it was another appendage on his head. A lot of men seem to have them.”
My lips quirked.
She smiled back, and suddenly my chest didn’t feel so tight.
“I’m going to do some surveillance of Tyler Simmons’s girlfriend.” I paused. “Want to come?”
Her eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands together. “A stakeout? Definitely.”
Crap. The invite had just come out unplanned. She was always saying she wanted to go on a stakeout. “It’s surveillance. And trust me, it’s not interesting.”
“Colt, you’re a kickass bounty hunter. Peopleallaround the country know your name. You know you have a fan group on Facebook?”
I choked. “What?”
“Ah, never mind. Let me find my shoes.”
My gaze dropped to her bare feet. It wasn’t uncommon for her to kick her shoes off.
I shouldn’t have invited her. I needed space from the distraction of her, not to be trapped with her in a vehicle for hours. Still, seeing her light up, and talk to me, was worth it. And the paper cuts.
I grabbed my cell phone, wallet, keys, and my Nikon camera.
She was flitting around her desk. “I’m ready.”
“Then let’s go.” I held the door open for her.
She smiled. “We’re like Sherlock and Watson.”
“No, we’re not.”
“Mulder and Scully.”
I growled, heading toward my Suburban. “No.”
“Bones and Booth.”
“We’re staying in the SUV.” I opened the passenger door for her. “Surveillance only.”
She tossed me a salute. “Yes, sir.”
It made me picture other circumstances where she might say that.Shit. It was going to be a long, few hours.
It didn’t take long for me to sayI told you so.
We’d been parked two doors down the street from Simmons’ girlfriend’s house for almost an hour, when Macy let out another long huff.
“This is boring.”
“I warned you.”
She stared at the house. There was no movement. “I thought there’d besomeaction.”
“Here.” I held out some gum.
She shifted on the passenger seat, tucking her legs up under her as she popped some gum in her mouth. I tried not to look at her legs, or her bare feet. She’d kicked her shoes off again.
