As the man walked away, he watched how he crouched down to talk to Tora, and she smiled up at him.
Oh, there was something there.
When Cupid got a hold of this, she wouldn’t only be trying to hire them. She was going to likely try to entangle them.
He’d bet on it.

Center City
Interview
Monday Afternoon
The Center Of Town
When Alex and Corbin arrived at the city council building, they were escorted to an office and told to wait.
And they did.
Why?
Because if Corbin and Alex didn’t interview the dude, the woman in charge would have their heads on pikes outside of the morgue.
Bet.
On.
It.
The last thing they wanted to do was piss her off by dropping the ball.
Working with Elizabeth was amazing—unless you slacked and didn’t do your job. Then, she’d be so far up in your business, you’d think you were dating her.
Alex knew that more than anyone.
He’d dropped the ball a few times in his career, but thankfully, Elizabeth never fired him.
YET.
As of late, coming out here, and working from this office had changed a lot in his life. He was busy getting settled, and he wasn’t feeling out of control.
FINALLY.
Oh, he missed Noah, and having dinner with him and Lawless, but even that was losing its luster.
Being the third wheel wasn’t fun, and that was exactly what he was in that relationship.
Alex had come to the cold, hard realization that he needed to back off and give the couple space.
Before Noah got married, he’d been his protector. Alex had a job, and it was to keep his bestie safe. He’d been with him through the bad years when Noah was in an abusive relationship, and he’d needed him.
They’d been close.
How close?
People always thought they were a couple, when that wasn’t the case. Many times, Alex wished they were, so he could have peace, but the bottom line was that no sane person would date him.
