The Book of the Middle

As Madam Locraine and Officer Peter's interaction progressed, the other officers could only clear their throats.

"Captain…" the first officer called out. "We still have to throw these two into the dungeons afer we interrogate them."

The female officer sighed and got on the front of the wagon, flipping her hair intentionally at the plump woman and the large man.

"We will go now," Peter said and took Madam Locraine's hand. He placed a peck on it without losing their eye contact. "I will see you again."

Elliot was standing on the side and watched everything unfold on its own. Madam Locraine had a tint of pink blush on her cheeks and the officer did as well.

"I will see you soon, Peter," Madam Locraine said. "Visit me tonight. We'll have a nice dinner in my garden."

"I will," Peter smirked and bowed. He walked back to the wagon with his colleagues, the three having grimaced faces.
