“I’m going to miss my partner, but I’m tired, Chrissy. I’m running out of joy doing my job. I’m tired of looking at dead bodies and seeing what people can do when they’re high, or angry. I’m in. Let’s go.”
She jumped up and hugged him.
“Kane! Really?”
He kissed her.
When he broke it, he smiled.
“I’m going to enjoy being a stay-at-home dad. That’s a damn good way to spend my day. You get to be the worker bee. Kane-y-kins needs a hiatus.”
Chrissy was so excited.
“I’ll tell Chris.”
He stopped her.
“I mean, you could sneak upstairs with me and thank me gratuitously first,” he suggested. “You know…to celebrate.”
That made her grin even more.
It looked as if life was about to change for all of them.
It was time to go home.

Oh, goodie.
No one looked happy about that.

Even Alex and Corbin, who were sitting beside her.
It was a tight fit in her blacked-out ride, but that was why they drove in vehicles that could hold this many people.
There was something to be said about being a sardine.
