“Are you going to kiss him goodnight?” Melissa asked, drowsily from the backseat. Most kids fought to stay up an extra hour or more every night, but Melissa was good with her bedtime. She was up with the birds, of course, but she always went to bed on time and their date had kept her from that tonight. She’d chattered the whole evening, even more than usual. It was a miracle the kid didn’t run out of breath or things to say. “I think you should kiss him goodnight. Will you?”

Danny grinned and looked over at the handsome younger man in his passenger seat. Milo was looking back at him.

“I dunno, kiddo. I guess it depends on whether Milo wants me to or not.”

They passed under a streetlight. Color flushed Milo’s cheeks.

It wasn’t really a question. Mostly, he just wanted to tease his date. But Milo nodded, just a quick jerk of his head. Yes. Yes, he’d take that goodnight kiss.

“I’m sleepy,” Melissa informed them.

“We’ll be home soon,” Danny promised.

“I’m going to wear my princess pajamas to bed tonight.”

“Sounds good, kiddo.”

“So, Danny…” Milo started quietly. “You said at dinner that you’re up for a promotion?”

“More like a demotion,” Danny laughed. “With the possibility of a future promotion. Yeah, with the RTCC. I told my Lieutenant to give me the rec.”

They spoke in low tones, Danny hoping Melissa would be asleep by the time they got home. He reached across the center console, laying his hand, palm up, near Milo’s. Milo intertwined his fingers with Danny’s.

“Sounds like a good opportunity.”

“I’m suddenly flush with good opportunities,” he murmured, tracing the back of Milo’s hand with his thumb.

“What’s that mean?” Melissa asked from the back seat, perking up just a little. Dammit. Danny squeezed Milo’s hand and then pulled his fingers loose, gripping the steering wheel.

“What’s what mean, kiddo?”

“‘Flush with good opportunities’?”

“Means I’ve got a great little girl and a great potential job and—”

“And a great new boyfriend?” she asked happily. “Milo. I liked our date. Are we going to have another one?”

Danny chuckled.
