CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

Mary Carol tilted her head to the side. “Why, Sergeant Gullett, I thought scorch was something somebody did when they weren’t paying proper attention to their hot coffee.” She held up her slightly scalded hand for him to see.

Gullett bit his lower lip as he took Mary Carol’s wrist in his hands and studied the angry patch of skin where her thumb and index finger met. “Now I know you need close supervision,” he half-joked.

Mary Carol tried to ignore the pain that hovered over her skin like fire as she slid her hand from the officer’s gentle grip. “If you don’t mind,” she insisted, “I do need to take off.”

A subtle shadow of disappointment crossed Gullett’s sweaty brow. “Of course,” he said, patting Mary Carol’s forearm. “We’ll talk later.”

Hopefully, Mary Carol thought, later would never come.
