Alex spent the next few days with Claire, Olivia, and Aisha. Or he did so in between his visits to Tehran, where he made slow but steady progress with Jasmine, and more importantly, gained the approval of her father.
But Alex did not forget his promise to Chun-Hei, and thus when the time came for her next day off, the woman was surprised to find the man waiting for her in her car. The night was young, and Alex wanted to make things up to his favorite police girl, who was a full-blown homicide detective by now.
Chun-Hei was dressed professionally, but this couldn't stop Alex from being attracted to her as he stepped forward and hugged the woman, promising that this time he would not vanish on her in the middle of their date.
