“What are you doing?”

Eliot sleepily opened one eye the next morning and watched me use my deft fingers to maneuver around his phone.

“Is that my phone?”

I froze, briefly wondering whether I’d crossed a line I didn’t see when I gave up trying to sleep two hours earlier. “Are you going to be angry if it is your phone?”

“I don’t know,” Eliot said, rubbing his eyes. “On one hand, I’m mildly turned on that you’re still naked, so I’m probably willing to overlook the privacy invasion. On the other hand, it’s not even nine on a Saturday and I can’t remember you ever being up this early on a weekend. Wait … why are you on my phone?”

“I’m looking at the listings that real estate agent sent you,” I answered. “I Googled her, by the way. We’re going to have to find a different real estate agent. She’s too pretty.”

Eliot snorted. “I’m glad to see you’re excited, but … it’s early. Go back to sleep.”

“I can’t sleep. I have too much on my mind.”

Eliot frowned. “Do you have good or bad things on your mind? Wait … I’m not sure I want to know. Go back to sleep.”

“I can’t sleep,” I replied. “I need to work a few things out. I can do that while looking at the houses Sheila sent. I told you she has to go, right?”

Eliot sighed. “She’s a client’s sister, so she can’t go,” he said. “I promise to wear a T-shirt with your photo on it when she’s around, though. That will let her know that I’m taken … in case she’s really stupid and doesn’t realize that searching for a house with a woman already means I’m taken. Go back to sleep.”

Eliot wrapped his hand around the back of my head and tried to press my cheek against his chest.

“You don’t have to get up,” I said, jerking away. “I need to think.”

Eliot made a fake whimpering sound. “What are you thinking about? If you’re changing your mind about moving in together I’m going to tie you to the bed until you change it back.”

“I’m not thinking about that,” I said. “I’m excited about that.”

“Really?” Eliot smirked. “You’re kind of cute when you’re excited. Go back to sleep and I’ll reward you with something fun in a few hours when we wake up again.”

“I can’t do that,” I said. “I need to get my story back.”

“I thought you got your story back.”

“MacDonald said he had to look at my documents and then he would give me my story back,” I clarified. “I want it back now.”

“Why? It’s Saturday.”

“I missed out on several days of leads,” I said. “I need to get back on track. Sierra Jackson is still out there. We need to find her.”

“Now you’re going to find her?” Eliot widened his eyes and shook his head. “Do you think maybe you’re getting too involved in this?”

I scorched him with a look. “Do you think I’m getting too involved?”

“I think you’re adorable and I’m not going to argue no matter what you do,” Eliot replied.
