That was what I wanted to say, but I couldn’t, not when I wasn’t ready to burden him with my lineage. Or myself. That was likely the real issue. I didn’t want to invite the director into my life by talking about him, remembering him. I wanted to erase the past and truly start fresh.

“One day soon,” I promised him, knowing I would face the director before all was said and done, and I needed Asa on my side when that day came. Clay too. “You’re spoiling me, you know?”
“How so?” He shut the door I hadn’t noticed we left open. “And should I continue?”
“The second you finish a case, you’re here.”
“There’s nowhere I would rather be.”
Silver tongued. Oh, yeah. The man had fae blood, and he knew how to charm.
“I like it.” I burrowed into him. “I’ve never had that.”
I had priorities, but I had never been one for anyone else.
“Rue?” Colby called from her rig, far from any potential smooching. “I found something.”
