“Cory Rossini to see Detectives Turner and Riley,” he said, standing at the desk sergeant’s counter waiting for the stern female to tell Max he had arrived.

“Sit over there.” She gestured. “I’ll let you know when they’re ready.”

Cory was surprised that Max actually admitted he might have been right. He sighed and decided they’d definitely make a good team. All that was left to do was convince the stubborn woman that if she thought what they had was a slight infatuation, she’d better guess again—he was dead serious about getting to know her, hopefully even having a relationship with her.

Cory meandered over to the row of folding chairs and sat down, watching the sergeant’s mouth move as she spoke into the phone. “Okay, Mr. Rossini,” she called to him a few minutes later. “Officer Monteague will walk you to the interview room. You have a good day.”

It was a few minutes before he would see Max’s face. His heart had already increased its dance and was now doing a rumba. Despite her tough exterior, he prayed Max’s heart was racing as fast as his. He told himself she was a cop and had to be very selective when showing her emotions. If he wanted her in his life, he would have to settle for the romance when they were alone together, because that’s what counted.

“Good afternoon, Cory,” Max said. “Thanks for coming over. Can you tell us what you’ve been doing since we last spoke?” He handed her a bouquet of red roses. Her surprised expression made him feel good. Riley smiled as he walked away.

“Thank . . . you,” Max said, and swallowed hard. “Why did you give me flowers?”

“Because we’ve been at odds with one another recently, and I wanted to let you know how much you’re starting to mean to me. Can we start over?”

The moment was lost when her peers began whistling and clapping hands. Max’s face turned a brilliant crimson.

“Oh God, Max, I’m sorry. I didn’t think . . .”

“It’s okay,” she said. “Give me one minute and we’ll talk.” She called out to a woman in the clerical pool. “Would you mind putting these flowers in water for me?”

“Sure,” she said, smiling at Cory. Max turned back to Cory.

“Okay, let’s talk,” she said, and together they walked to the interrogation room, where Riley was already waiting. Inside, Cory walked to the coffeepot and filled a cup. Adding sugar packets and milk, he stirred the liquid and set down on the table. “I met with a friend of mine named Greg Barton. He’s a member of the Bayside Country Club, and he informed me the senator and Barrett have been having an affair for at least two or more years that he knows of. The way they cheat is by sailing their yachts out to sea and anchoring.”

“How interesting. Is that just idle chitchat, or did he see this firsthand?” Max asked.

“He saw it firsthand. What he said was he and his family followed Barrett
