Chapter 9
Sunshine flooded Vivienâs bedroom as she dug through piles of clothes. Sheâd find the ideal outfit to wear to the blue versus white scrimmage slated for next Friday or else sheâd need to squeeze in a shopping trip during the week. Something that combined her indomitable team spirit with her flair for old-style Hollywood.
Because she wasnât going to let some black flowers get her down. Even if Kyleâs initial report was scant on information. And, while heâd taken her seriously, she still felt like an idiot reporting an unwanted flower delivery.
Yesâclothing was the perfect prescription. Sheâd dress up, play the part, and pretend that nothing was amiss. And, while kissing Boone yesterday may have been a mistake, it had certainly been the most pleasant of her mistakes sinceâ¦ever.
I got the bad guy and the bullet wound, but I didnât get the girl.
He certainly deserved the girl. Boone, the protector. The man who never gave up. Sheâd googled his name. Couldnât help herself. Lots of news story mentions as a detective in court cases, and it hurt her heart a little to think about the ugly things he had to see in the pursuit of justice for victims.
Some football highlights from high school. A middle school play.
Okay, now she felt like a stalker.
She turned back to her clothing pile. Sheâd dug out every blue anything she owned, which was actually a substantial quantity. Not that she had a shopping problem. Nope. Well, maybe she had salved her emotional wounds with a trip through the boutiques in SoHo.
She held up the fitted navy boat-neck blouse. Or maybe she should go with the blue cashmere sweater. She snagged it off the bed and looked at it in the mirror.
Yeah, maybe she did have a shopping problem. But still, the blue cashmere was probably best for the evening game. Sheâd just begun piling everything back into her closet, ending up with both the navy blouse and the cashmere sweater in hand, when the doorbell rang.
She opened the door to Boone, who wore jeans, a Kellogg Police T-shirt, and a hard set to his jaw that said he wasnât about to sweep her into one of those incredible kisses with those perfect lips.
âDid you have anything you wanted to tell me about?â
âUmâ¦?â She held out the tops in her hands with a shrug. âIâm thinking I might go with the navy?â She held up the blouse and batted her eyes at him.
âWhy didnât you say something to me about the flowers?â
Oh. That. She tossed the sweater and blouse onto the couch and crossed her arms, still standing in the doorway. âHow did you find out?â
âI was down at the CRT headquarters this morning. Turns out, everyone in town knew about itâexcept me.â
His tone suggested anger, if not hurt.
Oops.
âItâs not a big deal. I only called Kyle because Ree said if I didnât, she would.â Vivien gave him a convincing smile. âReally, itâs nothing, Boone.â She touched his arm. âPeople are just chatty. Need something to talk about.
