Chapter Nine

Karis

Monday morning began in silence. I made Bron ride the subway with me instead of driving to the office. I was in no mood to be trapped in the car with just the two of us in morning rush hour. We hadn’t spoken a word to each other, not even the sort of basic small talk that one would expect of two people sharing space. I didn’t even tell Bron that we were taking the subway instead of the car. I just started walking. The silence wasn't only on my side either. He followed me without a word.

The thing that bothered me the most about this morning wasn't the fact that neither of us were talking. It was that we'd managed to go through an entire morning routine without needing to talk. We moved around each other almost like we knew where the other one would be. I hated how aware I was of him, as if my body refused to acknowledge what my brain insisted was right.

Last night was proof of that.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as I remembered the fantasies I had about him. My body throbbed in response, and I mentally cursed myself. It was going to be a long day, no matter what I ended up doing about this whole situation.

I still hadn't decided on that yet. Part of me wanted to go into Colman's office and tell him that Bron had compromised the case by behaving in an inappropriate manner and that I wanted him assigned to another agent. But I knew if I did that, Colman would want to know specifics, and I doubted I'd be able to get away with not telling him about everything that happened, including the very public kiss, if the other agents hadn’t already done so. I supposed I should've counted myself lucky that some paparazzi hadn't snapped a picture of it.

I kept telling myself that not wanting to have to explain was the main reason I didn't want to get Colman involved, but I knew that was a lie. It was part of the reason, but the bigger part was that I didn't really want Bron to go. Even if Colman put Benita in charge of Bron, it would change things between us, and as much as I knew I should want that change, I didn't. I wanted him close by.

The thoughts chased each other round and round through the entire commute so that by the time I sat down at my desk, my head was starting to pound.

Without looking at Bron, I began pouring over notes and tabloids, looking for an estate or party that might still be used to draw Leconte out if he hadn't moved on already. Bron sat back in the chair in front of my desk and sipped his coffee, looking disinclined to do any actual work. Not surprising since I hadn't yet told him whether or not I was going to follow through with my threat to get him switched to another agent.
