Chapter Ten

“You’ve been involved in almost every case I’ve handled since you arrived in town, and that includes the investigations I’ve handed off to the state police.” Liam held my hand as we both made our way across the scalding hot cobblestones of the crosswalk. I’d taken the additional time it took for the thunderstorm to pass, explaining what little I knew about the broomstick. We now had a plan in place, with the promise that we’d sit down when this murder mystery was solved to talk about us, in light of our circumstances as they were. That particular discussion would take longer than the thirty-three minutes we’d hunkered down in his office at the station. “Don’t confirm that just yet.”

Liam used to endearingly say that I ended up in the most precarious situations. I’d have been more stressed about the fallout of my confession if he hadn’t been holding onto my hand so desperately.

Honestly, I didn’t want to let go of him right now, either.

You’re causing me to perpetually choke on my tongue down here. Can you give it a break? This is no way for me to continue to live…with a witch who can’t keep her sappy thoughts to herself. I’ll have to double up on my intake of catnip. They say it helps with nausea, you know.

“Leo, please go tell Mom to fix this power outage right now,” I muttered as we stepped onto the sidewalk. I didn’t miss the way Liam darted his gaze around us to see if he could locate Leo. “It looks as if another storm is coming in off the bay, and it would be nice to have the power back on before it hits.”

What power outage? Boy, it’s hot today, isn’t it?

“Leo, now is not the time for one of your short-term memory blips.”

What I’ve forgotten can’t be that bad. You’re holding hands with the good ol’ sheriff. Are you two going to the malt shop for ice cream? That’s a good idea, but I think I’ll stick with whatever catnip treat Beetle brought into the shop today. I need to be on the top of my game if I’m going to locate Skippy and his band of ninja squirrels. They need to be dealt with.

“Short-term memory blip?” Liam asked about ten feet from the antique shop’s door. There was a chance that Kathleen had closed up the store, either due to her brother-in-law’s murder or the fact that Paramour Bay still had no power. “Do I want to know?”

“You wouldn’t have asked if you didn’t,” I replied with a smile, because I could hear the curiosity in his tone. However, it wasn’t the bad kind. It was sincere interest in me and nearly everything that had to do with me. “You really have no idea what a relief it is to have you know everything.”

What did you say? Sweet angel of mercy, no wonder I didn’t want to remember anything from the past hour, day, or week! My lord, what day is it? Holy moly, Batgirl! I feel an asthma attack coming on.
