When I walk into the Bishop Busybody I nearly lose my breath at the sight of Rosie Harlow. She’s wearing that same dress I first saw her in last week. It’s pink, and cream, and has little flowers all over it. There seem to be many layers, and this is what’s so sexy about it.

Also the whole reason I’m here.

Well, maybe not the whole reason, but it’s a good part of it.

“Amon?” Rosie’s face is flushed and she seems very surprised to see me. “What are you doin’ here?” She starts hurriedly shuffling papers. Obviously, she’s been printing because there’s a little smudge of ink on her nose.

“Surprise.”

Her eyebrows go up. “We’re goin’ to lunch or something?”

“Well, we can certainly do that. But I’m really just here to walk you home.” My eyes might—involuntarily, of course—slide down her body and come back up.

She’s grinnin’ now. “You want to walk me home?” She’s cocking an eyebrow as well, which implies she gets my meaning.

“I most certainly do. I mean, you can’t be walking around unescorted. What are your plans for this afternoon?”

“Well”—she looks down at her mess of papers on the table, then starts sorting them—“I have to go to the copy shop and print off this week’s edition, then come back here and stuff some into these envelopes and then take the rest of them with me for the Revival inserts.”

I take Rosie’s hand and do a little bow here. “Allow me to escort you to the print shop then, good lady.” Then bring her hand up to my mouth—lookin’ straight into those thunderstorm eyes of hers as my lips graze across her knuckles.

She gets all flustered at my flirting and goes red. “All right,” she says. Which isn’t much of a verbal response to my gesture, but I know I’m really startin’ to get a hold of her heart and it’s overwhelming her a bit. Getting her all flustered and shit.

So I say, “Come on then. To the printer we go.”

Rosie makes a mad grab at all her paperwork on the table and stuffs it into a leather messenger bag. Then, when I hold the crook of my arm out for her, she latches on to me and we leave to run errands as a team.
