CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Mary Carol tilted her head to the side. âWhy, Sergeant Gullett, I thought scorch was something somebody did when they werenât paying proper attention to their hot coffee.â She held up her slightly scalded hand for him to see.
Gullett bit his lower lip as he took Mary Carolâs wrist in his hands and studied the angry patch of skin where her thumb and index finger met. âNow I know you need close supervision,â he half-joked.
Mary Carol tried to ignore the pain that hovered over her skin like fire as she slid her hand from the officerâs gentle grip. âIf you donât mind,â she insisted, âI do need to take off.â
A subtle shadow of disappointment crossed Gullettâs sweaty brow. âOf course,â he said, patting Mary Carolâs forearm. âWeâll talk later.â
Hopefully, Mary Carol thought, later would never come.
