CHAPTER SEVEN

In the morning, Lorne regretted downing a bottle of wine.

“Oh, God, I feel like crap!” She rolled over, placed her feet on the floor, and held her throbbing head in her open hands.

“And you’re expecting sympathy from me?” Tony asked. He crawled behind her and placed his head over her shoulder.

Lorne pulled her head away. “Do you have to shout?”

He jumped off the bed and walked into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

“Hey, I have to go in there first,” she called after him, wincing when the screech in her voice injured her throbbing head further.

“You should’ve got your arse out of bed quicker then. I’ll only be five minutes. A coffee would be most welcome. Thanks, darling,” her husband shouted above the noise of the running shower.

Tentatively, Lorne descended the stairs. After greeting Henry with his morning kiss and cuddle, she filled the kettle, slumped into the chair, and waited for the water to boil.

Tony joined her ten minutes later, his hair still damp, and his eyes twinkling with devilment. He waved a finger at her and winked. “That’ll teach you not to overindulge on a school night.”

Ignoring the jibe, she asked, “Are you starting work early? Is it the same case?”

“Yep, something came to light last night, and Joe and I agreed on a new strategy for today.”

“That’s a little evasive. What do you mean?”

Tony picked up Lorne’s lukewarm coffee, downed it, then crossed the room to the back door. “I’ll tell you tonight. I’m hoping it will be an early one today—if things go according to plan, that is. The painkillers are in the bathroom cabinet. You might want to take a packet to work with you. I can’t see that wearing off any time soon, Mrs. Warner. Shame on you for getting into such a state.”

“Yeah, yeah. It’s all Charlie’s fault for putting that darn movie on. See you later. Have a good day. Ring me at lunchtime if you can.”

“I will. Have a good day. Love you.”
