“Okay, start over again.” I said, listening to her explain how she would take down the witness.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
THEA
“You shouldn’t be calling me,” I said, as I placed a bowl of water down for Shadow.
She got one lick in, before jumping at the thunder outside.
“What if it’s work related?” he asked.
His voice over the phone gave me shivers. I’m not sure what it was, but having him speak directly into my ear was… sexy.
“Is it work related?” I asked him, already suspecting that it wasn’t.
“It depends on your definition of work.”
I wanted to laugh. “Levi, you have to be in court again in the morning.”
“Come over.”
“Yeah, that’s not happening,” I said, sitting on my couch.
“Then I’ll come over to your place.”
“Don’t you dare,” I warned him.
He sighed, “You’re making this so much more complicated than it needs to be.”
“That’s my line!”
“Ouch. That was my ear.”
Crap.
“Sorry, you just bug me sometimes.”
“Only sometimes?”
So annoying.
He went silent for a moment and so did I.
“You’re going to kill it tomorrow,” I whispered.
“I know.”
“Why must you be so cocky?”
“I’m from Boston,” he replied. “It’s part of our swag.”
I couldn't help but laugh. “Oh my god you are—”
“I’m what?”
I sighed, as I grabbed my pillow and hugged it to my chest. “You really don’t know when to give up.”
