A knock at her door had her head perking in that direction. Christian Lewis poked his head in. “You’re late, again,” He let himself in and shut the door. Confusion clouded her long face. The day wasn’t over, and she’d already bitten off more than she could chew. “Another briefing in the conference room,”

Regan groaned. “It’s the second one this week?”

She leaned back in her chair and took in the man by the door.

Christian Lewis wasn’t old per se. Going on fifty-five, he was as vigorous as the youths he worked with. He was a personal friend and colleague. As the Assistant Chief Deputy District Attorney, he was in simple terms a glorified secretary with a higher salary and bragging rights. He wasn’t too bad at his side hustle as her partner in crime. Just one of the fifteen-man personnel team she worked with.

“Tom has gone mad with power,” Christian Observed with a shrug. He’d had his hands in his pants pocket and stood with a hunch. At over six-foot it was barely noticeable.

Tom was the Chief Deputy District Attorney. He’d already rallied the team days ago to express his disdain with the rise of crime in Tillamook. Regan Sinclair had loathed herself for not sitting that one out.

“And it seems like someone is getting laid off,” Christian added.

“What do you mean?”

“There’s a special guest among us,” Christian said vaguely.

“I already have enough on my plate and no time for guessing games.”

“Governor Bernard Sutter’s already seated, and his appointed D.A. is not in attendance.”

Color drained from her face.

“I’m… I was… Shit.” She grasped at her words, the blood in her veins frigid. She blamed Julie… No, Lisa… She blamed Julie for putting Lisa in her path. Julie hadn’t been able to shut up about her psychologist neighbor. She had mentioned Lisa in the past, passively, but never with the fervor of trying to play matchmaker. Regan dreaded it, whenever Julie did that. It just meant she didn’t have faith that Regan could find her Mrs. Right on her own. It wasn’t as if she was trying… “I was in the middle of something,” She gestured to her computer.

Christian rose an eyebrow and she waved him over.

He leaned over her shoulder and adjusted the medicated lenses he’s worn as long as she’d known him.

She wasn’t scatterbrained. She late for pop-up briefings. That wasn’t like her. Her team was the textbook definition of unreliable. Not her. She was put together, collected, and all it took was a blind date tucked between the sheets of a contract to unravel the straight line that was her life?

No, she couldn’t let that happen.

She was almost done with Lisa Patterson’s contract. Much to her own dismay, she hadn’t been able to finish it before Lisa had to return to the office. It was better that way. She would have another reason to meet with the espresso skinned woman.

Did she want to meet with her outside the boundaries of the contract she was drawing up? She’d deliberated over it minutes into the woman’s exit.
