“MUST BE SERIOUS THOUGHTS you’re thinking.”

Sara jumped at the sound of Captain Pierce’s voice on the other side of her desk. Too late, she realized she’d been staring out the window replaying those kisses with Adam for what had to be the millionth time. A flush crept up her neck, prompting her to look down at the paperwork in front of her so she didn’t have to face her boss.

“Just brainstorming the Crayton case,” she said, thankful she’d been looking at the notes on the robbery only minutes before.

“Any new leads?”

“No, unfortunately.”

“Hopefully, someone will slip up and try to sell some of those pieces of jewelry. Speaking of which, wanted to thank you for helping Mom find her earring Saturday night.”

“I didn’t find it. Adam did.”

“Yes, Adam. You two been going out long?”

Sara looked past the captain toward where Keith and Shawn sat at their respective desks. “Did the guys put you up to this?”

The captain looked surprised by her question. “No, why?”

“Oh, nothing. And no, a one-time deal.”

“Too bad. I think Mom already has the two of you walking down the aisle.”

Sara nearly choked. “Not hardly.” Though the image wasn’t as farfetched as she’d once thought.

Oh, God, who was she kidding? His kisses made her skin flame and tingle, and he no doubt was awesome in bed. But marriage material? Unlikely.

And yet she continued to think about him and how she’d given in to impulse and kissed him. The memories wrapped her brain in knots as she packed it in and went home for the day. She didn’t even notice him sitting on her side deck until she was a few feet away from him.

“Oh, hey,” she said, her heartbeat banging away at her eardrums. “What are you doing here?”

“I remembered how much your little one liked pizza, so I thought maybe you’d agree to go out with me if we took the girls to Freddie’s.”

She didn’t manage to hide her surprise. “You want to go out, with all three of us?”

“Well, I want to go out with you. They’re just the chaperones.”

She searched for a reason to say no, but gave up when it proved too difficult. When was the last time a guy had thrown her like this? “Give me a few minutes to change and go get the girls.”

“They’re already inside getting ready. Ruby said she thought it was a great idea. I like your neighbor, by the way.”

“I’ll bet she did,” Sara said under her breath as she went in the side door of her house.

She followed the sound of laughter to Lilly’s bedroom. Ruby stood behind Lilly, French-braiding her hair.

“We’re having pizza, Mommy!”

Sara crossed her arms and eyed Ruby. “So I heard.”

Ruby didn’t look the least bit sorry when she met her gaze and winked.
