ALRICK followed Brian into the living room, stealing another kiss before the shorter man disappeared, the door swinging shut behind him. He stood there for a long moment, staring at the door and wondering if he’d gone insane.

If his intentions had been less than sincere, it would have been a decent plan. Getting Brian—Detective Macon—out of town meant that he wouldn’t be able to continue his investigation. He still hadn’t heard about anyone finding Conti, and taking Brian away would allow the trail to grow cold. A weekend full of hot sex and attractive scenery would be the perfect distraction.

In truth, though, those were nothing more than convenient excuses. He just wanted to spend some time together with Brian away from all the obligations and lies that lay between them like landmines, just waiting to be tripped. Alrick was well aware that the risky game he was playing had become far more dangerous now that he knew that Brian was a policeman. But walking away from Brian was something he was simply not prepared to do. It had been so long since he’d just allowed himself to enjoy being alive. From the first moment he’d taken a human life, he’d forced himself to shut away all emotion, his heart lost for years in icy darkness.

Then he’d met Brian, and suddenly, he wanted to live again.

He glanced over at his cello, which was still lying on the floor where they’d abandoned it the night before. Sighing, he returned it and the bow to its case. Although he’d taken immense pleasure in the interruption, the diversion of Brian’s visit had left him with a looming deadline and an article that needed revising. The pleasant memories the sight of the instrument aroused weren’t at all conducive to work. He smiled darkly, wishing that this really were his most urgent concern. After putting the case back in the closet, he fell into the armchair and opened up his laptop. His cell phone was in the bedroom, charging itself, and he tried without success not to listen out in case it rang.

An icon on the lower part of his screen indicated that he had a new email message. It was from his sister. His smile became genuine as he opened it up to read.

Guten Morgen, Brüder. I hope this finds you well. It is still very cold here. I don't know if it is so cold in America, but I made you some gloves to keep your hands warm. I will send them to you as soon as I have finished them.

Alrick knew from long experience how slowly she knit and that it would likely be next winter before he ever saw those gloves. Still, he always appreciated her attempts to mother him. He clicked the “reply” button and stared at the blinking cursor for a long moment, thinking of what he wanted to say.

Rosa, I’ve met someone….
