Ren got down on one knee and stuffed a bag of cash into the safe cemented into the floor, a remnant Deb had decided to keep from the old drugstore. She got back up and took off her apron. “We did it.”

“And we lived to tell the tale.” Lindsay untied her apron and tossed it in the laundry bag along with several dirty towels.

“Barely,” Ren said. “I’m dead on my feet, but I’m also starving.”

“It’s gone beyond starving for me. I’m in the ‘take me to the Icey Shack and let me order one of everything’ phase, including the deep-fried MoonPie they recently added to the menu.”

Ren threw on her jacket and grabbed her purse. “I love that place. Do they still sell those chocolate-dipped Creamsicles? They’re the best on a hot summer day.” She followed Lindsay out the front door and locked it behind her.

“They do. I may have to get one of those, even though it’s a chilly night in October, and hot chocolate would be the appropriate choice.”

“Well, you’re getting one of everything, right?”

“Nah, you’re buying, so I’ll go easy on you,” Lindsay said.

That made Ren smile. She’d had such a great time working with Lindsay that she didn’t really want the night to end. “I guess buying you dinner is the least I can do, but let’s go somewhere nicer. I’d love a glass of wine right about now, and I don’t think the Icey Shack offers merlot.”

“They should make a merlotsicle. I bet that would be delicious.”

“You’re a genius,” Ren said. “Please suggest it the next time you frequent their fine establishment, but in the meantime, I saw a place in Lake City that looked nice. Have you ever been to Reuben’s?”

“I haven’t, but…” Lindsay took her phone out. “I should check on Brooke before I say yes to anything out of town.”

“Of course.” Ren wanted to suggest that Brooke whip up some macaroni and cheese for herself and let her mom have a night of fun, but that seemed intrusive, given they barely knew each other.

“Hey, honey,” Lindsay said. “Yes, it went fine. No, we didn’t burn Deb’s place down.” She winked at Ren and turned away.

Ren found herself swooning over what was probably a very innocent wink. She couldn’t help herself. Lindsay Hall was beautiful and fascinating and filled with a warmth and intensity that Ren was definitely not immune to. If she could get her out of town, away from all of the prying eyes and interruptions, maybe they could get to know each other a little better. That’s all Ren wanted. Just a little more insight into Lindsay’s personality. And maybe her body, if things went well. Assuming she was into women. It felt like she was. Ren was certain her gaydar was not giving her a false positive.

Ren mentally undressed Lindsay while she was on the phone and admired her naked body from afar. When Lindsay ended the call, Ren mentally dressed her back up in her jeans and black cardigan.
