Chapter Thirteen

"How was your time off?" asked Angelina on Monday morning when I set a cup of coffee down on her desk.

"Amazing." The word fell from my lips before I could stop it and I glanced at her as I dropped into my chair.

"How's Mira feeling?" Her cautious question had her peering over the computer monitor at me, a smirk on her mouth.

"She's better. I'm sure Eve told you everything already."

"Yeah, Billie. Of course. I wish you would've talked to me though," she said.

"Why? So you could tease me like Eve does and then tell her everything I say? I'm not going to talk to you about my life if you can't keep things to yourself, Angie. Sorensen is easier to talk to because he's too dense to remember anything I tell him anyway," I said, glancing over when he grumbled from his corner desk. Angelina sighed softly, but Sorensen interrupted her response.

"I heard that. Also, where's my coffee?" He huffed and puffed like a juvenile.

"You're never on time so we never bring you any. Also, why are you on time?" I asked.

"Walked my girl to work this morning. She's a nurse at U.W. Medical." He grinned and Angelina and I both rolled our eyes.

"Another one," said Angelina, laughing with it.

"Yup. Put your eyes back in your head and butt out." Sorensen flipped her off right before Moreno walked in.

"Olsen, take Lubbock with you out to Pike Place. We got a body on the waterfront. Sorensen, the M.E. is waiting for you downtown." Moreno pulled out his phone and tapped away. "Sending you all the details."

"And off we go." I snatched my cup from the desk, and Angelina followed suit as we headed out to the vehicles. "Why did he tell me to take you with me? You're the veteran here."

"Because he's fostering your ego. I'll drive."

"Fine," I said.

We loaded up and headed out while I checked my phone. A text from Mira lingered on the screen and I opened it.

This weekend was incredible, Billie. Thank you for making it so good. xo

An immediate smile curved my lips and I typed my reply, I had an amazing time with you and want to take Dax up on her offer to do it again. Hope your day is good. xo

I can't stop smiling, so I think it'll be a good day. Have dinner with me tomorrow night?

Are you asking me out, Professor Lewis?

"Quit giving your phone flirty eyes and talk to me, you smitten little thing," Angelina teased, and I scowled at her.

I am. Will you have dinner with me tomorrow, Detective Olsen?

Yes. Always.

Hooray. :) I'll text you details later. Class about to start. Be safe.

Okay. Have a good day, baby. Tell them all the truth about quantum entanglement.

Billie!

;)

I pocketed my phone and looked up to see Angelina staring at me while we sat in traffic. "Oh, you're back now? Do I exist?"

"Shut up already."

"I want to talk about what you said before," she began, heaviness falling around her.

"I don't really want to.
