38 Chapter 38: Her Case Again

Colleen surfaced from her research into O’Shannon’s case and wandered into her kitchen. Sean entered the apartment from the deck, out of breath. What had he been doing out there? He was buttoning up his shirt. How long had he been out there?

She poured herself a glass of water then drank it, watching him walk towards her. He was the most attractive man she’d ever seen. Under different circumstances, she’d jump him, but now she didn’t want to see him. Not that way. Oh, no. She could so easily be distracted by him.

“Colleen. I have something to talk to you about.”

She put down her now-empty glass on the counter and cocked her head. “What happened while you were gone?”

He shrugged. “Not important. Yet.”

“Go ahead.”

“I don’t know how to ease you into this so I’m just going to say it.”

“Okay,” Colleen said.
