Flowers? No. Candy?
No. Damn,
what the hell do you
get a surly ex cop who you’ve managed to piss off every which way from
Sunday
when all you really want to do is go home and ravish her silly? Perusing the wares at the
all night stop ‘n
rob,
Pursing her lips, she gave the winder a few twists and let
it go. A ratcheting
sound that she
supposed was meant to mimic a true heartbeat rattled the bright red
plastic for
a few seconds, and then it shuddered once, stopped, and cracked open to
reveal
a tiny golden key strung on a chain.
“Oh God, how fucking cute is that?” she muttered as she
grabbed the toy and headed for the counter.
The clerk, bored near to mummification, snapped to attention
when he saw his customer’s choice.
“Very good, ma’am,” he said, his thick accent putting
“Sure. And you’d
better give me a couple of roses too.”
She hung her head and sighed.
“I
really gotta learn to pay more attention to the date.”
